To verify your insurance benefits for nutrition counseling, please call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask them the questions below. Doing this will help ensure you get the most out of your benefits and avoid unwanted financial surprises. 
 

• Do I have benefits for nutritional counseling, CPT codes 97802 & 97803?

• Do I have any nutrition counseling benefits covered under the preventative care portion of my plan? If so, how many visits? (ICD-10 code Z71.3)

• Is a doctor’s referral required?

• Does my visit need pre-authorization?

• Is there a limit on the number of visits I am allowed?

• Are there any restricted diagnoses?

• Are telehealth/virtual visits covered?

• Do I have a deductible to meet before insurance pays?

• Do I have a co-pay or co-insurance?

• Is Eat Practical, LLC (NPI# 1548748676) or Sarah Volling, RD/LDN (NPI# 1154838530) a covered provider under my plan? If not, what are my out-of network nutrition benefits?

**Please understand that your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. I do not regularly check benefits for clients so it is your responsibility to know what your plan covers and what your portion of the cost is. Please write down the details of your call and who you spoke with in the event your session is not covered, but you were told it would be.
