Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from patients and referring providers.

Do I need a referral to schedule a visit?
A physician referral is not always required, but it is often needed for insurance coverage. Medicare and some commercial plans require a referral with a qualifying diagnosis. We recommend verifying your benefits first.
How do I know if my visits will be covered?
Coverage depends on your diagnosis, medical necessity, provider network, and individual plan benefits. Submit your insurance details through our benefits form and we will verify your coverage before your first visit.
What conditions are typically covered?
Commonly covered diagnoses include diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular concerns, GI disorders, and other conditions where medical nutrition therapy is clinically indicated.
What if I don't have in-network insurance?
We offer self-pay options and can provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients also choose our signature programs directly for a more personalized, functional approach.
How do physicians send a referral?
Referrals can be faxed or emailed to our office.  Please include patient demographics, diagnosis codes, and any relevant labs.
