I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, UMR, Ambetter, Cigna, Medicare, and Aetna!
For other health insurances, I can offer a super bill. This is an itemized receipt that you can use to request reimbursement from your insurance company.
Before our first session, I encourage you to call your insurance and ask the following questions:
Is nutrition counseling, also called medical nutrition therapy, covered? (the procedure codes are 97802 and 97803)
Which diagnosis codes are covered as preventive; ask specifically about Z71.3. If the visits will not be covered as preventive, is there a deductible, copay, or coinsurance?
How many visits are covered? If there is a yearly limit, which month do the visits reset?
Is a MD referral or prior authorization required?
Are video visits covered the same as in-person visits for the questions above?
Is Nathan Slinkard (NPI 1356017230) covered under the plan? If not, what are the out of network nutrition benefits?
Write down the date and reference number for your call, and the name of the person you spoke with for your records.
