Do we Accept Insurance for Nutrition Visits?
Yes, we do accept insurance!
You might be wondering if your health insurance covers visits with a Dietitian on our team.
The great news is that most insurance companies cover nutritional counseling. However, Florida has unique rules for commercial insurance, so we strongly recommend verifying your coverage before booking. Most of our clients pay $0 out of pocket, but if your insurance does not cover the visit, our self-pay rates apply:
Initial Assessment: $200
Follow-up Appointments: $100

Verifying Your Insurance Coverage
It is the responsibility of our clients (not our team) to confirm coverage before scheduling an appointment. While we do our best to verify benefits, you will be responsible for any charges not covered by your insurance.
Here’s how you can check your coverage for nutritional counseling:
Call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card and ask to speak to a representative.
Ask: "Do I have coverage for nutritional counseling with a registered dietitian?"
If they ask for CPT codes, provide the following:
Primary codes: 97802 (Initial assessment) or 97803 (Follow-up visit)
If these are not covered, ask about: 99401, 99402, 99403, 99404, or S9470
They may also ask for a diagnosis code (ICD-10). Use:
Primary code: Z71.3 (Dietary counseling)
Alternate code: Z72.4 (If the first is not covered)
If you have any of the following conditions, ask if they provide coverage under these diagnoses:
Overweight or obesity
Pre-diabetes or diabetes
Hypertension
High cholesterol
We use preventive codes whenever possible to help maximize the number of covered visits.
💡 Important Note: Some diagnoses (such as IBS without overweight/obesity) may require you to pay a portion of the visit cost through a deductible, copay, or coinsurance. Your insurance provider will also determine how many visits are covered per year.
