Fees & insurance
I'm completing the credentialing process with major Washington health plans. Until then, visits are self-pay, and I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance.
Using insurance
I'm currently completing the credentialing process with major Washington health plans. I'll list the plans I'm in network with here as soon as that's complete.
Coverage for nutrition care depends on your plan and often on your diagnosis. Plans most often cover visits for obesity, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
Checking your benefits
To find out what your plan covers, call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
- Is medical nutrition therapy with a registered dietitian covered? The billing codes are
97802for the first visit and97803for follow-ups. - Are video (telehealth) visits covered?
- How many visits are covered each year?
- Will I owe a copay, coinsurance, or deductible?
- Do I need a referral or prior authorization?
- Is this covered as preventive care?
- Do I have out-of-network benefits for this, and how do I submit a superbill?
Self-pay rates
For anyone without insurance, with a plan I'm not in network with, or with a plan that doesn't cover nutrition care.
Initial consultation
A full review of your health history, eating habits, and goals, and a personalized plan to start.
Follow-up visit
Check in on progress, work through challenges, and adjust your plan as you go.
Have insurance I'm not in network with? I can provide a superbill, an itemized receipt you can submit to your plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Your right to a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service or item. You can also ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
