Insurance & Payment Options

In-Network

Lauren is in-network with:

Medicare, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna and Aetna.

Most insurance plans will fully cover nutrition counseling, although the details of your benefits will vary by plan.

You may only have to pay a co-pay or nothing at all.

Dietitians are considered “specialists” by insurance companies. Be sure to call to verify your benefits prior to scheduling. See below for a guide on what to ask your insurance company.

Medicare: Medicare covers nutrition services only for Diabetes and Renal Disease. Unfortunately, they do not cover for Pre-Diabetes, Obesity, or any other condition.

Out-of-Network & Private Pay

Even if you have out-of-network insurance, a significant portion of the services may still be covered if you have met your out-of-network deductible.

If you have not met your deductible, you can likely apply the cost of the appointment towards your deductible. You will receive a Superbill which you can then submit to your insurance company.

Out-Of-Network & Private Pay

Initial Nutrition Assessment 60-75 mins | $195

Follow-Up Nutrition Assessment 45-60 mins | $115
