Many insurance plans offer coverage for nutrition counseling at 100%, frequently waiving the deductible. It's important to note that coverage can vary based on the individual plan and medical diagnosis, and may also include virtual appointments for added convenience.
Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, BridgeSpan, HMA, IHN, Meritain Health, Pacific Source, Providence, Providence Collective Health, Samaritan Health Commercial, UHC, and UMR all offer a variety of insurance coverage options. Additionally, these providers may include access to nutrition counseling and virtual appointments to better serve your health needs.*Coming Soon: Moda Health (In-network beginning October 15, 2026)
