Will my nutrition counseling session be covered by insurance?
Many individuals are unaware that their insurance benefits most likely cover nutrition counseling services and you can get anywhere from 3-26 free visits each year! Currently, we are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare & Cigna.
To check your coverage call or chat with you insurance company and ask the following:
-
How many visits do I have with a Dietitian per year” and give them the procedure codes
97802 for the initial visit
97803 for follow up visits
-
Typically your nutrition benefit is a part of a preventative medicine benefit, but there are times where you need a referral or medical diagnosis. Here are some helpful questions to ask while you are on the phone with your representative:
Is this benefit limited to a specific medical diagnosis, such as diabetes or other diagnosis in order for me to use the nutrition benefit? If so, what is included?
What, if any medical diagnosis, is specifically listed as excluded from my nutrition benefit?
Do I have unlimited visits or a specific number of visits available each year?
Is a referral required? If so, who can make the referral?
Is there a copay?
Given my deductible I've already met for the year, including my plan copays and coinsurance, what will I need to pay out of pocket to see a registered dietitian nutritionist?
LET'S FACE IT.
