If you’d like to learn more about your nutrition coverage, call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask the following questions:

• Does my plan cover outpatient nutrition counseling (CPT codes 97802 & 97803)?
• If yes, how many sessions are covered?
• Does my plan cover visits only that are “medically necessary?”
• If so, what does my plan consider “medically necessary?”
• Does my plan cover nutrition counseling under the ICD-10 code “Z71.3?”
• If not, is there another code that is covered instead?
• Do I have a deductible to meet first? If yes, how much?
• Do I need a physician referral?
• What is my co-pay or coinsurance amount, if any, for outpatient nutrition counseling?

I have clients that I see weekly, biweekly, monthly, and as needed. At first, we may need to schedule the first couple of appointments based on our schedules, and then we can assess the level of frequency that would best support you. As you progress with your relationship with food, we can experiment with having more time between sessions, until you feel like you’re in a great place and can schedule as needed.

Absolutely. I aim to provide inclusive care for all people of all identities, genders and backgrounds.

Please allow at least 48 hours’ notice before cancelling so that I may be able to schedule another client at that time slot. I will charge $75 to your card on file for late cancellations or no shows.
