Does my insurance cover nutrition counseling?
In-network insurance
If we are in-network with your health insurance carrier, we will work with the insurance company to ensure coverage. Occasionally, insurance companies will deny payment — if that is the case, we will not charge you for any sessions that have already occurred. We will reach out to you personally to determine payment options for future sessions if you wish to continue working with your dietitian.
94% of patients pay $0 out of pocket.
However in rare cases, there are costs associated with using insurance (co-pays, coinsurance, deductibles). In these cases, you will be responsible for those fees.
Regardless of coverage, we require a credit card to be kept on file to enforce our no-show policy. However, you will never be charged without advanced notice.

Out-of-network insurance
Initial assessment: $180
Follow-Up: $145
Note: Rates increase for family work and for longer sessions.
We provide private-pay services to those patients with out-of-network insurance. If you're interested in this service, please get in touch and tell us about yourself so we can provide you with the most accurate information.
If you are out-of-network, we can offer you a superbill that you can submit to your insurance in hopes of getting reimbursed. It is your responsibility to inquire with your insurance company regarding these benefits and submit superbills (we can provide you with instructions when you schedule). The session fee must be paid at the time of service.
You can pay check or card. A card is required to be on file. We don’t offer a traditional “sliding scale” but we do keep several spots available for those who need help financially. Contact us to receive more information.

Please let our team know right away so that we can update the information in your file and verify your new coverage.
We require a credit card to be kept on file for all clients primarily to enforce our no-show fee, which is billed at the same rate as a cash pay session ($145). You will only be responsible for a no-show fee if you fail to show up to your appointment or cancel it within 24 hours of the appointment start time.
If we are in-network with your insurance provider, we will work hard to ensure coverage for your services. A small percentage of our clients incur some out-of-pocket costs from their insurance, such as copayments or deductibles. In those instances, you will be responsible for those fees. However, we will not charge you without advanced notice, and will work with you and the insurance provider to minimize costs when possible.
Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions.
