Before Your Nutrition Visit: Call Your Insurance

You need to call your insurance company before your appointment to avoid surprise bills.

What to Ask Your Insurance Company:

1. "Do I have nutrition counseling coverage?"

• Give them these codes if they ask: 97802 & 97803

• If those don't work, try these codes: 99401, 99402, 99403, 99404, or S9470

2. "Will my diagnosis be covered?"

• Give them this diagnosis code: Z71.3

• If that doesn't work, try: Z72.4

• If you have other health conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.), ask about coverage for those too

3. "How many nutrition visits do I get per year?"

• This varies by insurance plan (could be 0 to unlimited)

4. "Do I have to pay anything out of pocket?"

• This could be a copay, deductible, or coinsurance

• If you have preventive benefits, you might not pay anything

• Dietitians are often considered specialists, so you might have a specialist copay

5. "Do I need a referral to see a dietitian?"

6. "Does it cost different if my visit is by video versus in-person?"

How Payment Works:

• We bill your insurance first

• If you owe money, we'll charge the credit card you gave us

• We usually wait to see what insurance covers before charging you
