Rates and Insurance

We are proud to be in network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Multiplan, United Healthcare, and UMR.

As dietitians, we can bill for Medical Nutrition Therapy using either preventive or medical codes (such as an eating disorder diagnosis or diabetes). If there is an eating disorder diagnosis, you should have unlimited visits under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).

If we do not have a diagnosis and there is no preventive coverage, we are unable to bill the insurance company for Medical Nutrition Therapy and you can pay our discounted cash pay rates: Initial session $185 | Follow Up $165

You can check your coverage of Medical Nutrition Therapy by calling the Customer Service phone number on the back of your insurance card and asking:

  1. Does my plan have coverage for Medical Nutrition Therapy? Are codes 97802, 97803, and 99404 covered? If you have a specific diagnosis, mention it at this point.

  2. Is there coverage for both preventive and medical diagnosis codes?

  3. Is a referral or preauthorization needed?

  4. Is there a limit on the number of visits per calendar year? Can this be extended, or is it a hard limit?

  5. Is there a deductible that needs to be met?

  6. What is the copay/coinsurance? What is the out-of-pocket max?

  7. What is the reference number for this call?

We are considered a Medical Specialist, so your copay/coinsurance will be higher than what you pay to see your Primary Care Provider. This amount is often listed on the front of your insurance card.

If we are not in network with your insurance company or you do not have a diagnosis and there is no preventive nutrition coverage with your plan, we can provide you with a Superbill to submit to your insurance company. You will pay our cash pay rate of $185 initial/$165 follow up and the insurance company will reimburse you directly.

Cash pay rate: $185 (Initial Intake) | $165 (Follow Up)
