Frequently Asked Questions

At this time, I do not accept payment through private insurance coverage, Medicare, or Medicaid.  However, upon request, I am able to provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement for out-of-network benefits. 

Please understand that a Superbill does not guarantee reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider prior to your appointment to determine if nutrition counseling is covered in your plan.

Though not always required, it is helpful to have a referral from your physician when submitting for insurance reimbursement. 

You can also use your FSA card when making payment for services and products.

In your initial consultation, we’ll walk through your medical history, diet history, and current nutrition concerns.  We’ll talk about what motivates you to live a healthier life and solutions to any present or future barriers.  For one hour, we will meet in my office or talk via a secure video conferencing platform.  We’ll set actionable and personalized goals – based on your health status, motivations, and food preferences – so that you will feel confident and ready to achieve your nutrition ambitions.  We’ll discuss topics that are important to you, like how to read a food label, how to eat healthy when at a restaurant, and recipe ideas to prepare at home or on-the-go. 

Following the initial consultation, your follow-up plan may include follow-up appointments, food photo tracking, and email support that will help keep you accountable, track your progress, and set new goals.  You’ll receive encouragement, healthy ideas, and answers to all your questions along the way. 

The nutrition care process starts with an assessment and nutrition diagnosis before creating an intervention plan.  Would you take blood pressure medication without having the doctor measure your blood pressure?  An antibiotic without knowing if you truly have an infection?  Probably not...so why do the same with a diet program?  Nutrition counseling from a nutritionist provides you with a unique plan that works for your life -- something that many books, popular diets, and supplement programs fail to do.
