Insurance & Pricing

Many insurance plans cover nutrition counseling services, especially for clients with diabetes, heart disease, or other qualifying medical conditions, which we will verify before your appointment. Weight loss counseling may also be covered for clients with obesity-related health issues. We accept most major insurance plans and provide assistance with prior authorization when required. For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates and package deals for multiple sessions. Medical supplies are often covered by insurance, and we work with most major insurance providers and Medicare to ensure you receive maximum coverage for necessary equipment and supplies.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first nutrition appointment, complete a detailed food diary for at least three days including one weekend day to help our dietitians understand your current eating patterns. Bring a list of current medications, supplements, and any medical conditions that may affect your nutritional needs. Come prepared to discuss your goals, challenges, and any previous experiences with diet changes or weight loss attempts. Be honest about your lifestyle, cooking skills, and food preferences so we can create realistic and achievable recommendations. Follow through with the meal plans and recommendations provided, and keep detailed records of your progress to review during follow-up visits. Don't hesitate to contact our team with questions or concerns between appointments, as we are here to support your success throughout your wellness journey.
