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

Affordable Nutrition Therapy with Insurance

We take insurance!

95% of our clients are covered for nutrition services through their insurance, with no out-of-pocket costs. This includes telehealth nutrition counseling.

If you are at risk for, or struggling with, chronic disease, disordered eating, or an eating disorder, you now have access to affordable medical nutrition therapy and treatment. We are in-network with many insurance plans.

Check your coverage

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: Call the member services number on the back of your card and ask:

Does my plan cover outpatient nutrition counseling? (codes: 97802 and 97803)
If yes, how many how many sessions are allowed?
Does my plan only cover visits that are “medically necessary” or does it also cover preventive services? (code: Z71.3)
Does my plan cover telehealth for nutrition counseling? (location code: 02)
Do I have a deductible to meet first?

If yes, how much is my deductible?
How much of the deductible have I met?
Do I have a copay for outpatient nutrition counseling?
Do I need a physician referral?
Record the representative’s name and a reference # when checking your benefits. This information will be necessary if you ever need to dispute a rejected claim.

Step Three: Make an appointment and get started!

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

How much does one-on-one nutrition therapy cost (virtual or in-person)?

We believe everyone should access affordable nutrition counseling. Here are our self-pay rates.

Note: In order to secure a spot on a dietitian’s schedule, we need a valid payment method on file.

Discovery Call (15 minutes): Complimentary

Initial Consultation (90 minutes): $195

Follow-Up Sessions (30-60 minutes): $100-$145

Support your recovery with intuitive eating coaching, recovery coaching, and other virtual nutrition counseling services

While nutritional counseling can be beneficial for various conditions, we find that, specifically for those suffering from disordered eating, continuous support and ongoing accountability is the game changer in achieving recovery.

We developed and highly recommend our online intuitive eating membership in conjunction with 1:1 sessions. Due to the limited structure that insurance-based counseling allowed for eating disorder recovery, we found that patients needed additional support and, without it, reported it prolonging their recovery to food freedom.

Our online course offers exactly this. Learn more about our holistic approach to eating disorder recovery and register for the online program here.

Our Testimonials

Thank you for choosing us as the Best Dietitian Practice in STL (2023)

There have been times where my daughter will eat 4 bowls of carrots and turn down a cookie, and there have been times where she will want all the fruit snacks and nothing else, but it doesn’t stress me out because I know now that it’s just what her body wants in the moment. The information provided in your course not only helps my kids, but also opened my eyes to some of my own internal struggles around sugar and meal times!"
My sister Gifted this program to me and I'm so glad she did! I've already gotten so much out of watching the modules and reading the PDFs."
Understanding and implementing the Division of Responsibility in Feeding really takes the pressure off meal times. I love sitting down to enjoy dinner with my family and I hope it’s a memory my kids enjoy when they’re older too."
Also, againg, thank you for being so kind to "A". She usually does not like seeing "doctor like people", but she actually enjoys coming to see you, so that says a lot.

I can't thank you enough for all you have done for us. I know we will continue to deal with food issues but at least I see hope. I honestly don't know how L(or myself) could have got through the past year without you. You literally are a lifesaver!! You are an amazing dietitian!!.

I am truly grateful we found you to be he nutritionist. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
by Mother of a Patient, Saint Louis, MO
"For most of my life, I have correlated the size of my body to being loved and accepted. The smaller I am, the more lovable and acceptable I am. Giving up the dieting, the rules, and the noise has given me the freedom to trust, appreciate and accept love from others as well as myself".

I truly appreciate the encouragement and hearfelt, genuine concern you have for me. Your counsel and empathy have meant a great deal and helped keep me going during difficult times.

Thanks for helping me think about food differently and providing guidance regarding how to select carbs. Also, thanks for helping me recognize that the evolution would take several months to come to a 'new normal'.
