| Will my insurance pay? How will my visit be paid for?
Most local HMO's and many other insurers provide a nutrition and diabetes counseling benefit to their members. Most of the time it must be for a medical reason and sometimes is limited to certain conditions. There may be a co-pay in the same amount as a doctor visit. Both NurtritionSM and you will work together to contact the insurers to determine your benefit, co-pay and possible referral or prescription needed. Ultimately, you are responsible for payment. Laura is a provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim Health Plan, Medicare (diabetes only), Tufts Health Plan and Neighborhood Health Plan. Other insurances may have a nutrition counseling benefit so long as the provider is a licensed, registered dietitian, as is Laura. Usually the insurance will allow a certain number of visits, but if more are needed, they can be requested, and may be covered. With the exception of Medicare, local insurers cover most nutrition-related conditions. If your insurance does not cover, then you are responsible for payment. It may be helpful to know that maybe only a few sessions will be needed for your condition. Also, discounts are offered to members of the above-mentioned HMO's in cases where a condition is not covered or the number of visits has been exhausted.
