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

Choose your payment option

2
Complete your information

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.
