Please note that coverage varies by plan. Even if your insurance is listed here, we strongly recommend confirming your nutrition benefits with your insurer prior to your first appointment.

Verify Your Nutrition Benefits

Before your first appointment, please contact your insurance provider to confirm your nutrition counseling coverage. This helps prevent unexpected bills and ensures you understand how your benefits apply.

1. Do I have coverage for nutrition counseling?
Ask whether your plan includes medical nutrition therapy.
If the representative requests CPT codes, provide:

  • 97802

  • 97803


2. Will my diagnosis be covered?

If asked for an ICD-10 code, share that visits are typically billed with:

  • Z71.3


If you also have diagnoses such as:

  • Overweight or obesity BMI

  • Prediabetes or diabetes

  • Hypertension

  • High cholesterol


…you may want to ask about coverage for those conditions as well, as some plans offer expanded benefits.

Preventive coding is used whenever appropriate to help maximize your benefits. If your only diagnosis is medical (for example, IBS without additional risk factors), your plan may apply a deductible, co-pay, or coinsurance.

3. Will telehealth be covered
Provide POS code:

  • 10

  • 02


3. How many visits do I receive per calendar year?
Plans vary widely. Some allow a limited number of visits, while others provide expanded or unlimited sessions depending on medical need.

4. Do I have a cost-share for nutrition visits?
A cost-share may include:

  • Deductible

  • Co-pay

  • Coinsurance


Dietitians are specialists, so a specialist co-pay may apply. However, preventive visits often do not require a co-pay — confirm this with your insurer.

Your insurance will be billed first. Once we receive the Explanation of Benefits (EOB), any patient responsibility will be charged to the card on file.
