Health Insurance for Nutrition Services
Have you checked to see if nutrition services are covered by your health insurance?
Many insurance companies cover nutrition counseling sessions performed by a registered dietitian. Coverage may vary depending on your plan. Whole Lifecycle Nutrition is an in-network provider for the following insurance companies: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Mass General Brigham, Tufts Commercial plans, and United Healthcare.
How to find out if you are covered?
You can start by calling the customer service number on your card.
When calling your insurance company, make sure to ask:
✓ Do I need a referral or order from my primary care physician?
✓ Is my diagnosis covered?
✓ How many visits are covered?
✓ Will I have a copay?
✓ Have I met my deductible?
Other notes on insurance coverage:
Sometimes the insurance company will ask you to provide them with CPT or ICD-10 diagnosis codes. The CPT codes are 97802 and 97803. The ICD-10 diagnosis codes are unique to your health condition. If requested, provide the ICD-10 codes of Z71.3 and Z72.4 which are preventative diagnoses. You may also be covered under a different ICD-10 diagnosis. Health conditions that commonly have nutritional services covered by health insurance include overweight, obesity, pre-diabetes, diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension.
Note that coverage for pediatric and adult patients may be different, even if you are on the same family plan. Make sure to ask the insurance company to explain nutrition services benefits for each individual in your family seeking care.
Some insurance companies will reimburse you directly for fees paid to out-of-network providers. If this is the case, we can provide you with the necessary paperwork to submit to your insurance company.
Whole Lifecycle Nutrition also accepts health savings accounts (HSA), flex spending accounts (FSA), cash, and credit. All payments are made through our secure patient portal.
