Holistic Nutrition Counseling in New England
covered by Insurance
Trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, and rooted in respect.
Using Insurance for Nutrition Counseling
We believe everyone deserves access to supportive, personalized nutrition care without the stress of figuring out how to pay for it. That’s why we’re proud to accept several major insurance plans across New England and beyond.
We offer holistic, weight-inclusive nutrition care that’s often covered by insurance. Our services include support for eating disorders, digestive concerns, hormone balance, and general wellness, delivered with compassion, respect, and without restriction.
Initial Case Management Fee
To provide the highest level of personalized, coordinated care, all new clients are charged a one-time $150 initial case management fee. This fee is separate from your nutrition appointments and is not covered by insurance.
Your first appointment is just the beginning of the work we do. Behind the scenes, our dietitians dedicate significant time to understanding your unique health history and developing a comprehensive plan tailored to your needs. Depending on your situation, this may include reviewing laboratory results and medical records, obtaining records from other providers, communicating with your physician or therapist, collaborating with members of your healthcare team, researching complex conditions, and creating an individualized treatment plan.
This comprehensive care allows us to begin treatment with a clear, informed understanding of your needs while ensuring your care is coordinated across your healthcare team. We continue to collaborate with your providers throughout your care, as appropriate, to help support the best possible outcomes.
For clients that require extensive continued collaboration, a monthly collaboration fee of $150 will be applied.
*Payment plans available
*HSA/FSA accepted
*For eating disorder care - if the case fee would prevent you from receiving services, please let us know. We are happy to discuss your situation and may offer a fee waiver or adjustment when appropriate.
How to Check Your Benefits
We do not verify coverage on your behalf, but we make it easy for you to confirm your benefits before your first session.
Start by downloading our insurance form, which includes a clear list of questions to ask your insurance provider. Then, call the member services number listed on the back of your insurance card and use the form to guide the conversation. This helps you find out:
Whether nutrition counseling is covered
How many sessions are included per year
What your copay, deductible, or coinsurance might be
Whether prior authorization or a referral is required
Many of our clients find this step empowering and helpful for avoiding surprise bills.
