What to ask your Insurance:
If your insurance company is found in the above list, this means we are participating with your plan. We are happy to submit the claims for your visits; however, you should be aware that benefits for nutritional counseling can vary greatly among individuals. Not all policies contain benefits for nutritional counseling. Here you will find a list of questions that will help you when speaking to your insurance company. Located on the back of your card
1. Do my benefits include nutritional counseling? (Procedure codes 97802, 97803)
2. Are there any exclusions or limitations (such as limit to number of visits)?
3. Are my visits subject to a deductible?
4. Am I responsible for any copay or coinsurance for the visit?
