What should I expect in my first nutrition session?
Your first session is a comprehensive nutrition assessment designed to understand your unique needs and goals.
During the session, we will review your health history, discuss your current eating habits, exercise, and sleep patterns, and address your top nutrition questions. Together we will come up with sustainable short-term goals that will help you to meet your long-term health goals.
The first session is usually around 60 minutes. At the end of the first session we will discuss how frequent follow-up visits should be. Clients meet anywhere from weekly to once a month.
My insurance doesn’t cover medical nutrition therapy. How much do the sessions cost for private pay?
If your insurance does not cover medical nutrition therapy (MNT), private pay options are available:
Initial 60-minute nutrition assessment: $200
Follow-up 45-minute session: $140
Will Medicare cover Medical Nutrition Therapy?
Medicare covers MNT if you have a diagnosis of diabetes or kidney disease.
Do you offer in-person appointments?
At this time, I am only offering tele-health sessions. My clients really like the convenience of tele-health visits. I am currently licensed to work with individuals virtually who live in Virginia, Maryland, or North Carolina.
