Insurance Nutrition Appointments

In-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare for in-person and virtual appointments in Minnesota and other select states

(State laws dictate who can provide nutrition counseling to its residents. These laws are subject to change. Contact me to see if your state allows me to work with you.)

To learn more about what to expect before, during, and after an appointment please see Nutrition Counseling Services.

Confirm Insurance Coverage

We have created an Insurance Coverage Guide to help you determine your coverage when you call the Member Services number on the back of your insurance card. It is your responsibility to confirm coverage before scheduling an appointment.

Billing

We are an in-network provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield MN and United Healthcare and can bill direct. If we submit a claim for nutrition counseling and your claim is denied you will be required to pay the full insurance rate. Insurance is billed $300 for 90-minute initial consultation and $135 for 45-minute follow-up appointment. It is your responsibility to determine coverage prior to your appointment.

For reimbursement from out-of-network insurance providers we can provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible compensation. Private pay appointments can be paid for with HSA or FSA funds regardless of insurance carrier.
