Insurance FAQs:
-
Many insurance plans include nutrition counseling benefits, but coverage depends on your specific plan. Some plans cover nutrition counseling as preventive care, while others require a medical diagnosis or referral. The best next step is to contact your insurance provider directly and ask about coverage for outpatient nutrition counseling with a Registered Dietitian. Use this script for help!
-
It depends on your plan. Some insurance plans cover nutrition counseling under preventive benefits, which may mean no copay or deductible in certain situations. Other plans process nutrition counseling under medical benefits, which may involve a copay, deductible, referral, or diagnosis requirement.
Ask your insurance company whether CPT codes 97802 and 97803 are covered under your preventive or medical benefits.
-
Not always. Many plans cover telehealth nutrition counseling, but some plans have different rules for virtual visits compared to in-office visits. Before your first appointment, ask your insurance provider whether outpatient nutrition counseling is covered for telehealth appointments.
-
A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes the information your insurance company may need to process an out-of-network reimbursement claim. If Khan RD is not in-network with your plan, you may be able to submit a superbill to your insurance company and request partial reimbursement.

Khan RD offers limited sliding scale availability for clients who are uninsured, underinsured, or unable to afford the full private-pay rate. Sliding scale spots are based on availability and financial need, and they may not always be open. Please reach out before scheduling if cost is a barrier so we can talk through current options.
