Verify Your Insurance Benefits
Let's make this part as simple and stress-free as possible.
Before your first appointment, I ask all clients to call their insurance company to check their nutrition counseling benefits. This helps you understand your coverage, avoid surprise bills, and feel confident walking into our first session.
You don't need to know insurance
✔ You don't need to know insurance language.
✔ You don't need to know medical codes.
✔ You don't need to get it perfect.
Just follow the steps below - I'll take care of the rest once we meet.
What You’ll Need Before You Call
• Your full name & date of birth
• Policyholder’s name/date of birth (if you’re on a parent/spouse plan)
• Member ID & Group Number
• A general idea of why you’re coming in (examples below)
Choosing Your Diagnosis Code (Simple Examples)
Pick the one that fits you best:
• General nutrition counseling → Z71.3
• Eating disorder support → F50
• High cholesterol → E78
If you’re unsure, you can simply say:
“My provider said I can use Z71.3 or F50 depending on my situation.”
Step‑by‑Step: What to Ask
Call the Member Services number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
-
“Is Nutrition With Lisa (NPI 1164300380) in‑network with my plan?”
If no:
“What are my out‑of‑network benefits for nutrition counseling?”
-
“Does my plan cover nutrition counseling for CPT codes 97802, 97803, or 97804?”
If yes:
“How many visits or hours are allowed per year?”
-
“Does my plan cover my diagnosis code with those CPT codes?”
If they say “preventative only”:
“Is my diagnosis considered preventative when paired with 97802 or 97803?”
-
“Are telehealth nutrition visits covered?”
-
“Do I need a referral or prior authorization?”
-
• Co‑pay: $________
• Deductible: $________ (and how much is met?)
• Coinsurance: ______%
-
“Do I have any session limits or a maximum benefit for nutrition counseling?”
-
Ask for:
• Representative’s name
• Reference number
• Date & time of call
