Frequently Asked Questions

---

I do not accept payment through private insurance coverage, Medicare, or Medicaid.  However, upon request, I can 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. Before your appointment, please check with your insurance provider to determine if your plan covers nutrition counseling.

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 paying for services and products.

In your initial consultation, we’ll review your medical history, diet history, and nutrition concerns.  We’ll discuss what motivates you to live healthier and solutions to present or future barriers.  We will meet in my office for one hour 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 important topics, like how to read a food label, eat healthy 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. 

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.
