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.

EVERY VISIT INCLUDES A SUPERBILL

Most nutrition visits with a registered dietitian and a referral from your healthcare provider are covered by commercial insurance, so I'll always provide a Superbill you can submit for partial or full reimbursement. For some, this ends up similar to seeing an in-network provider, but with an upfront co-pay.

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.

•  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).
