| Will my insurance pay? How will my visit or service be paid for?
Most local HMO's and many other insurers provide a nutrition and diabetes benefit to their members. There may be a co-pay in the same amount as a doctor visit. Both NURTRITIONSM and you will work together to contact the insurer to determine your benefit, co-pay, and possible referral or prescription needed. Laura is a provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim Health Plan, Medicare (diabetes only), and Tufts Health Plan. Other insurances often have a nutrition benefit so long as the provider is a licensed, registered dietitian, as is Laura. For most conditions, the insurance will allow a certain number of visits, but if more are needed, they can be requested. 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.Please contact us to inquire about the costs for the varying services of .
