How to Verify Insurance Coverage for Nutrition Counseling

Many insurance plans, including both in-network and out-of-network coverage, often include benefits for nutrition counseling services with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). To verify your coverage, start by downloading our insurance verification form, which includes a comprehensive list of essential questions to ask your provider. Next, call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card and use our form to guide your conversation. This ensures you gather detailed information about your copays, deductibles, session limits, and any specific coverage for medical nutrition therapy (MNT) or nutrition counseling services under your plan.

*Medicaid (MaineCare) does not cover nutrition counseling, and Medicare only covers diabetes and renal disease at this time.
