Understanding Our Payment Structure

We are a private-pay practice. This lets us plan the time and attention your care needs without insurance network limits. This approach allows us to dedicate the time and attention your health deserves while maintaining the flexibility to adapt our services to your unique and evolving needs.

How Payment Works

Our practice bills on a monthly basis via credit card.

This streamlined approach eliminates administrative delays and allows us to focus entirely on your care rather than insurance paperwork and pre-authorizations that can sometimes limit treatment options.

We believe that investing in your nutrition is investing in your long-term health and quality of life. While we understand that private pay represents an upfront investment, many clients find that the personalized attention, faster access to care, and potential insurance reimbursement make this approach both valuable and often cost-effective.

HOW WE SUPPORT YOU

Insurance Reimbursement Support

While we don’t directly accept insurance, we understand that maximizing your healthcare benefits is important. Here’s how we support you in seeking reimbursement:

  • Detailed Documentation

    Upon receipt of payment, we provide you with a detailed receipt with the diagnosis and procedure codes insurers usually ask for.

  • Delivered to you

    Your detailed receipt is sent directly to you each month.

  • Out-of-Network Benefits

    Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits for nutrition services, especially when provided by registered dietitians for medical nutrition therapy. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider to understand your specific out-of-network coverage.
