Do you want to use your insurance for your nutrition visits?
You most likely CAN! It's important to verify beforehand, however, and confirm if you do in fact have benefits under your insurance policy for nutrition counseling. It is often the case that visits can get covered even if you don't have an actual diagnosis and only want preventative care, but this is why it is SO IMPORTANT to get familiar with your coverage!
Start by calling the 800 number on the back of your insurance card and speaking to a representative. The information below in the FAQs gives you a head start on what to ask your insurance company.
Even if you like surprises, I am sure you don't like the "you owe me money" type of surprise!
FAQs?
What insurance is accepted?
At the present time, I am a provider with Aetna, Medicaid, BCBS, and United Healthcare.
What happens if the visits aren't covered?
In the event your claim is denied or you schedule knowing you are not covered, initial appointments are 60 minutes for $185, and follow-ups are 45 minutes for $115.
What questions should I ask when calling my insurance company?
When you schedule an appointment, you will receive a PDF that contains questions to help guide your conversation with your insurance company. It takes most people about 15 minutes on the phone with their insurance. Not too bad :)
