Uncovered Nutrition is private pay and out of network with all insurances. Superbills are offered. Superbills are itemized invoices of the out-of-network nutrition services you receive & can be submitted to your insurance to request reimbursement. Your insurance company decides if and how much they will reimburse you for out-of-network services. We encourage clients to submit superbills as the money spent on nutrition counseling counts toward your annual deductible. Time can be set aside in your nutrition appointment to help you submit your superbill.

Being a private pay practice allows Uncovered Nutrition to provide the highest quality care to clients by creating the opportunity to dedicate adequate time to each client, having in-depth & nuanced conversations, collaborating with other providers, and staying up to date on the trainings & research that are necessary to provide health & trauma-informed nutrition care.

If nutrition services are covered by insurance, most plans limit coverage to a few sessions a year. Insurance companies are not in alignment with weight neutral practice nor do they cover the complex & in-depth treatment plans we use to build sustainable nutrition habits or maintain eating disorder recovery.

We acknowledge that accepting insurance increases access to care and are continually working to create more accessible nutrition services.

It is a great idea to call your insurance company, using the number provided on the back of your insurance card, to ask about your nutrition and out-of-network benefits. Some insurance plans may cover nutrition services but not have nutrition listed explicitly as a benefit so it is worthwhile to ask! You can ask your insurance:

• What are my nutrition/dietitian benefits?

• Do I have any out-of-network benefits for dietitian services?

• What diagnoses (ICD-10 codes) are covered for dietitian services?

• What procedure codes (CPT codes) are covered for dietitian services?

• What percentage of out-of-network services is covered after reaching my annual deductible?

• Can I submit a single case agreement to request coverage for necessary dietitian services? How can I do this and what information is needed?

PPO plans and low deducible plans often offer the most opportunity for reimbursement for out-of-network services.

Clients are billed through their client portal for nutrition services after their appointment. Clients are responsible for 100% of the session fee at the time of service & are fully responsible for the cost of services not covered by insurance. Payment for online services will be collected at checkout. All nutrition services, groups, and online resources are nonrefundable.

Individual needs vary but we find that weekly appointments are most successful for fostering a comfortable relationship with your provider and for helping clients reach their goals. Appointments will decrease in frequency as clients grow confidence in their nutrition progress and/or are able to maintain their recovery. The frequency of appointments can be discussed with your provider at any time.

Individual needs and cases vary so we cannot say with certainly how long you will need to work with your dietitian to accomplish your nutrition and/or recovery goals. The duration of nutrition support can be discussed with your provider at any time. Clients that are using nutrition to improve lab results should anticipate 3+ months of support. Clients who are in disordered eating/eating disorder recovery, working on body image, or improving their relationship with food should anticipate 9+ months of support. In reality, eating disorder recovery specifically takes years and outpatient treatment is generally a big chunk of that time!
