Insurance Coverage for Nutrition Counseling

There are many different plans, and we cannot guarantee that your policy will cover nutrition counseling. It is your responsibility to call the member services number on the back of your card to verify your coverage before you schedule your appointment. If we submit a claim to Blue Cross Blue Shield for nutrition therapy and your claim is denied, you will be responsible to pay the full insurance rate. Insurance rate for an initial consultation (2-hours) is $365 and a follow-up consultation (1-hour) is $160.

We are in-network providers of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, so you may be covered. For Blue Cross Blue Shield plans outside of Minnesota, you may be covered if you have a PPO plan. If your insurance card has “PPO” inside a picture of a suitcase, you probably have a PPO plan. For any kind of Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, you will need to call the member services number on the back of your card to verify if nutrition therapy is covered under your plan.
