Insurance & Payment Info (FAQ)
  • Did you know nutrition counseling is a preventive benefit under most insurance plans?
    Most health insurance plans cover nutrition visits at NO COST to beneficiaries! This is because medical nutrition therapy aka nutrition counseling falls under PREVENTIVE BENEFIT under most plans, even if you have NO medical condition; but it is still specific to your policy. 98% of our clients pay $0 for their visits.
  • Which insurances are we in-network with?
    We accept Aetna, Allina Health, BlueCross BlueShield, First Health, HealthPartners, Medicare, MultiPlan, Medica, Medicaid (MA and MinnesotaCare), MultiPlan, Sanford Health, United HealthCare (UHC), UMR, Meritain Health. Please note- Aetna/Allina Health: We are out-of-network with "Performance GO Plus plans"
  • Can you self-refer (without your PCP’s referral)?
    Yes. Only a few policies require a referral fax from their PCPs office. We communicate this to you after benefit verification; this is regular, one time paperwork. (If you already are aware your policy needs a referral, please leave a message to your PCPs office front desk staff to send us a fax at fax# 612-712-8264).
  • What questions could you ask your insurance to verify nutrition coverage?
    We encourage you to verify your own benefits by calling the number on the back of your card. We will also do this with your permission (just like any doctor’s office). Here is the list of questions to ask- Check out this document--> CLICK HERE
  • If you are out-of-network, what are our self-pay rates?
    We have the most budget-friendly self-pay rates compared to our competitors. This is because we believe nutrition services should be accessible as it's first line of therapy. Most clients choose our bundled options because they’re the most effective. Payment is due after your first visit, and we accept all major credit cards as well as HSA/FSA cards TO VIEW OUR SELF-PAY RATES <---- CLICK HERE
