Nourish is currently in-network with 5 major insurance companies; Blue Cross Blue Shield/Anthem, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Medicare. For in-network patients, we work with your insurance company to ensure coverage.

‍

94% of in-network patients pay $0 out of pocket. Use our insurance coverage calculator to verify your coverage and learn more about how we work with your insurance company.

‍

In some rare cases, there are costs associated with using insurance. Our policies are outlined below:

‍

If your insurance denies payment or your claim goes to a deductible that you don't wish to contribute to, we will not charge you for any sessions that have already occurred. We will reach out to you personally to determine payment options for future sessions if you wish to continue working with your dietitian.

‍

If your claim processes with either a copay or coinsurance amount, you are financially responsible for those amounts. If you have questions regarding a possible copay or coinsurance, please contact your insurance provider directly about benefits for medical nutritional therapy.

‍

If your insurance does not cover our services, we also offer private pay services at $145 per session.

‍

Insurance must be active at the time of your appointment. If your insurance becomes inactive and you wish to continue your sessions, you will be charged our private pay rate of $145.

‍

Contact us today at support@usenourish.com if you have any other questions.

‍

Yes! We accept Medicare. However, Medicare will only cover nutrition therapy if you have a diagnosis of diabetes or chronic kidney disease. Unfortunately, any other conditions (including pre-diabetes) are not covered by Medicare.

‍

No! 94% of our patients have sessions fully covered by insurance, at $0 out of pocket cost to them. There are no other hidden or surprise fees with Nourish. That said, you will be responsible for any copay or co-insurance payments determined by your insurance policy agreement.

‍

Yes! You are welcome to pay using HSA or FSA funds.

Nourish patients can update their insurance in the Nourish patient portal by visiting https://app.usenourish.com/#/portal and adding a new insurance policy in the “Insurance” tab.

We require a credit card to be kept on file for all clients primarily to enforce our late cancellation/no-show policy ($75) or for any copays/coinsurance. You will only be responsible for a no-show fee if you fail to show up to your appointment or attempt to cancel/reschedule it within 24 hours of the appointment start time.

If we are in-network with your insurance provider, we will work hard to ensure coverage for your services. A small percentage of our clients incur some out-of-pocket costs from their insurance, such as copayments or coinsurance. In those instances, you will be responsible for those fees. However, we will not charge you without advanced notice, and will work with you and the insurance provider to minimize costs when possible.

We are always working to expand the list of insurances we accept at Nourish. Please keep an eye out on our accepted insurances page as we grow for more updates on this. If you have a specific insurance provider in mind that you would like to see added to our accepted list, please feel free to contact our support team at support@usenourish.com.

No need to worry; if your insurance denies payment or your claim goes to a deductible that you don’t wish to contribute to, we will not charge you for any sessions that have already occurred. We will reach out to you personally to determine payment options for future sessions if you wish to continue working with your dietitian.

The vast majority of our patients don’t pay anything for Nourish’s services! If your claim does have a copay or coinsurance:

‍

For your first appointment: You will receive an invoice within 24 hours of the claim being adjudicated by insurance; you will be auto-charged 5 days later if you do not reach out with any concerns after receiving the invoice.

‍

For follow-up appointments: You will be auto-charged when each claim is returned from insurance.

We offer patients 2 options:

1. Pay deductible amount for previous visits and continue to bill insurance for future sessions
2. Cancel all claims from past sessions (so you owe $0 total for any sessions that have occurred), and either a) cancel future appointments or b) continue doing sessions without billing insurance ($145 per session)

‍

Any owed copay is determined after we receive the claim back from your given insurance company. This process usually takes between 2-3 weeks but may take longer depending on how long it takes for the insurance company to respond to a given claim.

We will send you an email notification when your first appointment is confirmed to be fully covered by insurance! If your appointment has any patient responsibility or is denied, we will reach out to coordinate your care options.

Medical records provide our dietitians with helpful information about the patient’s medical history. They also help ensure that we can get the claims covered by insurance!

‍

Your amount of covered sessions is determined by your specific insurance plan. While the vast majority of our patients do not have any visit limits (meaning they can do as many sessions as they want per year), some plans will have visit limits. You can find an estimate for your covered visits using our coverage calculator here: https://www.usenourish.com/does-my-insurance-cover-nutrition. If you want to verify your benefits or you want more detail on your coverage, you can call the member services number on the back of your card and inquire about your benefits for Medical Nutrition Therapy. If your insurance denies any claims because you reached your visit limit, we will not charge you for any sessions that have already occurred.

We do not offer any financial assistance programs at this time. However, 94% of our clients pay nothing out of pocket so we would recommend checking out our coverage calculator to see what coverage would look like for you at Nourish.

Typically, this is because there are not any available dietitians in your state who serve the specialties you chose. Some states have stricter licensing requirements which limits the number of dietitians you can see. One thing you can do is narrow the list of specialties you select, and see if the pool broadens. You are also welcome to email us at support@usenourish.com and we can help further or get you on the waitlist!

At Nourish, we provide complimentary appointment cancellations or rescheduling up to 24 hours before the appointment. However, any cancellation or rescheduling requests made within 24 hours of the appointment will result in a $75 late appointment change fee.
