Frequently Asked Questions

See below for fee structure, insurance information, and cancellation policy.

  • As a registered dietitian, I work with folks on their behaviors thoughts, feelings, and experiences around food, eating, movement, and body.

    I help with anything from planning meals/snacks, to processing and redirecting unhelpful food thoughts & beliefs, to tapping into sensations in the body to practice resourcing safety at meal times. There is a lot we can do together!

    I believe that anyone who struggles with an eating disorder, disordered eating, eating challenges, or their relationship to their body or movement can benefit from this work. Whether this is your first experience or you’ve been working on this for a long time, we can work together!

  • Initial sessions are 60 minutes. I will invite you to share some of your history and we will begin to develop a treatment plan.

    Follow-up sessions are 45 minutes. We will revisit previous goals/intentions, explore wins and challenges, and see where we want to go next. This format is tailored to each individual and over the first few sessions we will find a rhythm and structure that feels best for you.

    The course and duration of treatment varies for each individual, however weekly sessions are typically most effective for continuity of work as we begin.

    If you are looking for referrals for other medical, mental health, or body work practitioners, I have a list of providers that I have worked with or have been recommended to me by trusted colleagues.

On Fees, Insurance & Cancellations

Fees:

I use an equity pricing structure to provide multiple financial access points so that folks who are unable to pay my standard fee may have an opportunity to access treatment.

Equity pricing structure

Group equity pricing structure

Methods of Payment:

Credit card and HSA/FSA cards are accepted forms of payment. If neither of these options work for you I am happy to discuss other forms of payment in a consultation call.

Insurance:

I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I am not contracted with any insurance companies. This means payment is required the day of the session and I provide monthly superbills to submit to insurance for reimbursement.

Different insurance plans offer different benefits, so the amount you are reimbursed depends on your plan’s out of network benefits. Below is a guide which can help you discover what your coverage might be.*

Questions to ask Insurance Provider**

Here are some questions you can ask your insurance provider - the phone number is located on the back of your insurance card:

  1. Does my plan have out-of-network coverage?

  2. What nutrition services & how many visits are covered under CPT code 97802 (initial consult)?

  3. What nutrition services & how many visits are covered under CPT code 97803 (nutrition follow-up visit)?

  4. What place of service codes are covered under 97802/97803? Are 02 and 10 (telehealth) covered?

  5. Are there specifications regarding the diagnostic codes covered under CPT codes 97802/97803? Meaning, are there codes that would be and would not be covered due to medical necessity?

  6. What is my plan's deductible and co-pay/co-insurance?

If you do not feel that the representative you are speaking with is providing clear information, you can ask to speak with a manager and/or request a plan document explaining your policy that includes a definition of medical necessity for this carrier.
