Question 1

Do you accept insurance? ​

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am in network with Cigna, United Healthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield (commercial only, no Medicare or Medicare Advantage). I am working to accept more plans.  Please reach out to get the most up to date information before scheduling. If utilizing insurance, your appointment will take place using the Berry Street platform.

If I am not in network with your plan, I am considered an "Out of Network" provider. If desired, you can request a superbill after each visit.

A superbill is an itemized receipt documenting your visit with a healthcare provider. If your insurance carrier has out of network benefits, sometimes you can submit this document for partial (or full) reimbursement. However, reimbursement is NOT a guarantee. This receipt may also be requested if you choose to use your HSA/FSA card, and the card company needs additional documentation about the service provided.

Question 2

Do you accept Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am now in-network with Medicare, and some Medicare Advantage plans. Please be aware that Medicare only allows for coverage of Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease nutrition therapy. All other diagnoses are not covered, and would have to be done through cash payment. If you do qualify for nutrition therapy under one of these diagnoses, a referral from your provider is required prior to your appointment. You may go ahead and schedule an appointment,  and we can assist in obtaining the referral. However, if you would like to expedite the process, you can find the link to the referral form below. Your provider is welcome to use this form or their own form. Please have them fax the completed form to our office: 469-896-4824.

Question 3

What is a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist (RD or RDN)?

Accepted Answer

An RDN is considered the expert in the field of nutrition. This board certified credential requires at least a Bachelor's degree, along with 2,000 hours of supervised practice, passing a certification exam, and continuing education to maintain registration status. Nutrition is not one-size fits all, and a Registered Dietitian has received specialized training in how to apply evidence based research to help meet your goals.

Question 4

Do I need to send a referral from my doctor?

Accepted Answer

No, this is not required, but it is helpful for your doctor to know that you are working with a registered dietitian. It is also helpful for me to keep your doctor informed by sending updates after each session we complete. In addition, if you are interested in submitting a superbill, it is helpful to get diagnostic coding from your provider so that I can provide a more detailed summary of the services I provide to you. This may improve chances of reimbursement.
