Understanding Your Nutrition
Counseling Insurance Benefits
A clear guide to exploring your nutrition counseling insurance benefits, verifying coverage, and understanding your options for accessible care.
Making Nutrition Support More Accessible
Understanding your options for nutrition counseling should be simple. Heart N Soul Nutrition provides information about insurance benefits and self-pay options to help prospective clients explore available services.
Insurance benefits vary by plan and carrier, and coverage is never guaranteed. Because each policy determines its own benefits, we encourage you to verify your individual coverage directly with your insurance provider before beginning care.
Insurance Coverage & Benefits
Heart N Soul Nutrition works with clients who may have nutrition counseling benefits through a variety of insurance plans. Coverage and provider participation vary by individual policy. Contact your insurance company to verify your benefits before scheduling.
FSA & HSA Cards Accepted
Pre-Tax FundsYou can use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) card to pay for qualifying nutrition counseling, functional lab testing consultations, and wellness services.

Historically, Heart N Soul Nutrition has worked with a range of insurance carriers. Please confirm current participation and individual plan coverage directly with your insurer, as carrier and plan participation are subject to change and verification.
If you are contracted with another insurance company we are more than happy to provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement for our sessions. The superbill does not guarantee reimbursement. *See self-pay discounted prices here.

How to Verify Your Nutrition Counseling Benefits
A few key steps help you understand your coverage before your first session.
Confirm Nutrition Counseling Coverage
Ask your insurance company whether your specific plan covers outpatient nutrition counseling, Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), weight management, and preventive nutrition counseling.
Ask whether your plan covers:
- Outpatient nutrition counseling
- Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)
- Weight management
- Preventive nutrition counseling
Billing codes to ask about:
Ask which health conditions or diagnoses are covered and which ICD-10 diagnosis codes may apply.
Verify Virtual Benefits
Confirm whether virtual nutrition counseling is covered at the same benefit level as in-person appointments under your plan.
Questions to ask:
- •Are we considered in-network?
- •How many nutrition counseling sessions are covered per year?
- •Does my plan have an annual deductible? If yes, what is the deductible amount and how much have I already met?
- •Do I have a copay or coinsurance? If yes, how much will I owe per session?
Some plans may provide preventive nutrition counseling benefits with reduced or no out-of-pocket costs. Always confirm your specific coverage with your insurance provider.
Record Your Insurance Call Information
Before ending your call, record the insurance representative's full name, a reference or confirmation number for the call, the date of the conversation, and any coverage details or limitations provided.
Record the following:
- Insurance representative's full name
- Reference or confirmation number for the call
- Date of the conversation
- Any coverage details or limitations provided
This information may be helpful if a claim is later denied or coverage needs to be verified.
Check Network Participation & Schedule
Determine whether your provider must be in-network, and whether out-of-network reimbursement or superbill options are available to you.
Provider NPI numbers to share:
Ask whether the provider is considered in-network under your specific plan. If out-of-network, ask whether reimbursement or superbill options are available.
