We aim to use preventive nutrition benefits whenever available. However, deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance and visit limits depend on your specific plan.
We recommend confirming your benefits directly with the insurance company even after our complimentary verification.

How do I confirm my nutrition counseling benefits?

You can also complete our free insurance verification form and our team will review your benefits before your first visit.
What should I ask when calling my insurance company?

- Is my dietitian in-network?
- Will I have a co-pay, deductible or co-insurance?
- Is there a limit on the number of covered visits?
- Are both telehealth and in-person visits covered?
Diagnosis code: Z71.3
Procedure codes: 97802 and 97803
Provider NPIs: 1801578174 or 1477392009
Can I use out-of-network benefits?
Yes. If Healthy All Time Nutrition is out-of-network with your plan, you can pay at the time of service and request a superbill to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Out-of-network reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan and is not guaranteed.
Can I pay with my FSA or HSA card?
Yes. Healthy All Time Nutrition accepts FSA and HSA cards for eligible nutrition services.
Eligible expenses are determined by your plan administrator. If you are unsure whether a service qualifies, please confirm with your FSA or HSA provider before your visit.
Why doesn’t Healthy All Time Nutrition currently accept Medicaid?
Healthy All Time Nutrition previously submitted claims to multiple Illinois Medicaid plans for outpatient dietitian services. Unfortunately, the claims were denied, which could leave patients responsible for the cost of their visits.
To protect patients from unexpected charges, we do not currently accept Medicaid for dietitian services.
Does my insurance cover services other than dietitian counseling?
Generally, no. Most insurance plans cover eligible dietitian counseling or medical nutrition therapy only. Additional services—such as personalized meal plans, InBody body composition scans, RMR testing, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), recipes or other add-on services—are usually not covered. A small number of plans may offer coverage for certain services, but benefits vary and coverage is not guaranteed.
