Insurance for Nutrition Care, Eating Disorder Treatment, and Medical Nutrition Therapy

Here’s an easy three-step process to find out if you’re covered! 

Step One: Call your insurance provider (the number on the back of your insurance card) and have your insurance ID and reason for the visit ready.

 

Step Two: Ask the following questions:

​

• Does my plan cover nutritional counseling, diagnosis, or preventative? CPT codes 97802 and 97803,  ID 10 code Z71.3 or E66

• Do you cover eating disorder codes (F50.9)?

• Do I need a referral, prior authorization, or get a pre-determination letter before my appointment?

• Is there a limit on the number of visits?

​

Write down the answers and write down the name of the representative you spoke with, date, and reference number of the call.

 

Step Three: Make an appointment and get started!

Please Note: Insurances sometimes say one thing and then commit to another. This form can be helpful with facilitating a conversation to verify your benefits however, we are not held responsible for charges that your health insurance may bill as this is out of our control unfortunately.
