PAYMENT & INSURANCE

At this time, I'm an out-of-network, private/self-pay based practice. Instead of spending my energy navigating insurance requirements, I choose to invest it in personalized nutrition care and building lasting relationships with my patients.

SUPERBILL UPON REQUEST

Superbills reflect the CPT-eligible portion of care only. Reimbursement amounts and eligibility are determined by your individual insurance plan; we recommend contacting your insurer directly, or using our benefits estimator, to understand your specific OON coverage before booking.

Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment, and Essential Package are eligible for a superbill upon request, reflecting the standard $300 assessment rate and $175 per-session follow-up rate.

Signature Care and Signature Care Annual Packages are eligible for a superbill upon request. The superbill will reflect the standard session rate ($175/follow-up, $300/assessment); any additional package premium is a private-pay fee and is not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

Lite Package and A la carte are self-pay only and not eligible for superbill documentation.

Check what your deductible and out-of-network costs may be by calling your insurance. I recommend asking specifically if CPT codes 97802 and 97803 are covered.

• Medi-Cal or financial hardship? I offer a sliding scale payment option and/or a payment plan model to work with your needs. Please note that sliding scale sessions are self-pay only and not eligible for superbill documentation or insurance reimbursement.

•  HSA/FSA: medical nutrition therapy/nutrition counseling is usually a qualified expense when you have a referral from your healthcare provider.

PAYMENT

All payment is due during booking to secure your appointment (credit card, Zelle/Venmo, or HSA/FSA).
