How to Verify Insurance Coverage for Nutrition Counseling
If you’re thinking about using insurance to cover nutrition counseling, we’ve got you covered! Here’s what you need to do:
- Check Your Coverage: Contact your insurance provider to confirm if they cover medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for your specific diagnosis
- Download Our Nutrition Insurance Verification Form: This comprehensive document will guide you through the questions you need to ask your insurance provider to check your coverage.
- Obtain a Referral: Some insurance plans require a referral from your healthcare provider for coverage. If your insurance plan requires a referral from your healthcare provider for coverage, we’ve got you covered. Simply download and share our referral form with your physician.

What is the cost of nutritional counseling if your insurance doesn’t cover it?
For added convenience, I’m delighted to provide you with a “Superbill” or detailed invoice for your records. Simply submit it to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. The amount you receive back depends on your policy, so I recommend reaching out to your insurance company’s member services line for all the details.
