How to Check Your Insurance Benefits for Nutrition Counseling
Insurance coverage for nutrition counseling varies by plan, but many clients have benefits for visits with a registered dietitian nutritionist. We created an insurance verification form to make the process easier.
Download the form, call the member services number on the back of your insurance card, and use the questions on the form to ask about:
nutrition counseling or medical nutrition therapy coverage
copays and deductibles
visit limits
referral requirements
telehealth benefits
This can help you better understand your benefits before scheduling.
Our Dietitian Nutritionists are in-network with most major insurances.
*At this time, Medicare typically covers nutrition therapy for diabetes and kidney disease. MaineCare does not currently cover nutrition counseling services.
