What Nutrition Counseling Includes

Insurance and self-pay nutrition counseling both focus on individualized Medical Nutrition Therapy and practical nutrition support.

Medical Nutrition Therapy

  • Nutrition assessment related to your medical concerns
  • Personalized nutrition education and counseling
  • Support with meal structure and behavior change
  • Digestive symptom and food-pattern exploration
  • Goal setting and accountability during appointments
  • Follow-up visits based on your individual needs

What Is Separate From Nutrition Counseling

Some clients want deeper testing, analysis or a more comprehensive level of support beyond individual nutrition appointments.

  • Extensive functional laboratory analysis
  • Genetic and specialized nutrient analysis
  • Secure nutrition support between appointments
  • Ongoing food-journal review and feedback
  • Detailed nutrient targeting and supplement protocols
  • Concierge-level support

These services are available separately through my private-practice functional nutrition and concierge services.

Choose How You’d Like to Pay

Select your insurance plan below, or choose self-pay if your plan is out-of-network, your nutrition benefits are unavailable or exhausted, or you prefer to pay privately.

No Insurance Required

Self-Pay Nutrition Counseling

Choose self-pay if I am out-of-network with your insurance, your nutrition benefits have been exhausted, or you prefer to pay privately for your nutrition visits.

Book a Self-Pay Initial Visit
Using insurance? Scheduling an appointment and submitting your insurance information does not guarantee coverage. Benefits and eligibility must be verified. Copays, deductibles, visit limits, referral requirements and exclusions vary by plan.

What if I'm out-of-network?

You do not have to enroll in a functional nutrition program simply because your insurance is not accepted. Self-pay nutrition counseling is available for clients who want traditional one-on-one Medical Nutrition Therapy without using insurance.

How It Works

1
Choose your payment option

Select your insurance plan or choose self-pay.

2
Complete your information

Complete your intake forms and, if using insurance, provide your insurance details.

3
Prepare for your visit

Insurance benefits will be verified when applicable, and you'll receive the information needed for your nutrition appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does scheduling guarantee that my insurance will cover my visit?

No. Coverage depends on your individual plan, benefits, diagnosis, provider network, deductible and visit limitations. Your benefits must be verified.

What if my insurance isn't listed?

You can still work with me through self-pay nutrition counseling. This allows you to receive one-on-one Medical Nutrition Therapy without billing your visits to insurance.

What if I've used all of my nutrition benefits?

You may continue care using the self-pay option rather than ending nutrition counseling solely because your covered visits have been exhausted.

Is self-pay the same as functional nutrition services?

No. Self-pay refers to how you pay for individual nutrition counseling. Functional nutrition services may include more extensive laboratory analysis, genetic or nutrient analysis, specialty testing and other services that are separate from standard nutrition counseling.

Do I need a physician referral?

Many plans do not require one, but some plans or diagnoses may. You will be notified if additional documentation is needed.

Are visits virtual?

Yes. Nutrition appointments are provided through secure telehealth. Availability may depend on the state where you are physically located at the time of care.

Does insurance cover functional laboratory testing?

Coverage varies widely. Specialized testing, extensive lab analysis and concierge services may not be covered through nutrition benefits. Private services and laboratory costs are handled separately.
