Insurance

Did You know nutrition services are covered by many insurance plans?

We are in network with: Aetna (including Aetna NC State Health plan), Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Medcost, and United Healthcare

Most insurance policies now cover nutrition counseling with a dietitian as a preventative service! This can mean $0 out of pocket (no co-pay or deductible) for the individual!

By taking advantage of these benefits, you can receive personalized guidance that fits your unique health needs and goals, ultimately with the potential of reducing future medical expenses and boosting your overall quality of life!

Every insurance policy differs, so it is important to verify your coverage prior to your visit! See below for questions to ask your insurance representative regarding nutrition coverage! If you have additional questions regarding verifying your coverage please let us know!
