Nutrition Elevated, PLLC by Lauren Rice, Registered Dietitian

Insurance Coverage

Coverage varies greatly between plans. If insurance declines to cover your visit(s) for any reason, you are responsible for the full amount billed. I recommend contacting your insurance directly to verify coverage before your first appointment. If you are planning on receiving out-of-network reimbursement for medical nutrition therapy, you are responsible for payment at the time of your service.

Even as an out-of-network provider, it is possible that your insurance company will cover all or a portion of nutrition visits. I recommend that you contact your insurance provider to clarify coverage.

If requested, I will provide a Superbill with a procedure code and diagnosis code for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

PHONE SCRIPT WHEN CALLING YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY:

  • Is nutrition counseling covered? (the procedure codes are 97802 and 97803)
  • Are there restrictions on which diagnoses are covered?
    Is Z71.3 (dietary counseling and surveillance) covered, or is a medical diagnosis required?
  • Do I need a referral or prior authorization?
  • Is nutrition counseling covered when provided via telehealth?
  • How many visits are allowed?
  • Is there a time limit for each session?
  • Do I have a deductible to meet before insurance pays? If so, is the deductible waived for preventive nutrition therapy?
  • Will I have a copay or coinsurance?
  • Is Nutrition Elevated, PLLC covered under my plan? (they will likely ask for the provider’s NPI listed below)
    Lauren Rice’s NPI 1: 1609386390 and NPI 2: 1386319861
  • Write down the date and reference number for your call.

HSA/FSA CARDS AND ACCOUNTS

If your insurance plan does not cover nutrition counseling but you do have a Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account (HSA/FSA) card, you can use that to pay for your sessions.
