Understanding Our Payment Structure
At Appleman Nutrition, we operate as a private pay practice to ensure we can provide you with the highest quality, personalized nutrition care without the constraints often imposed by insurance networks. This approach allows us to dedicate the time and attention your health deserves while maintaining the flexibility to adapt our services to your unique needs.
How Payment Works
We require payment at the time of service 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.
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 comprehensive receipt that includes all necessary medical coding—both diagnosis and procedure codes—required for insurance submission.
✔ Confidential Delivery
Your detailed receipt is sent via secure, confidential email, ensuring your privacy while giving you everything needed for reimbursement.
✔ 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.
