Let's get started!

We are currently in-network with PPO plans from Cigna, Aetna, and BCBS.

If we do not participate with your insurance plan (out-of-network), we can provide you with a super-bill after payment, which you can submit to your insurance plan for reimbursement or apply towards your deductible.

At this time, all visits are conducted virtually via a HIPAA compliant platform. Currently, most insurances are covering for telehealth services. When you schedule your visit, you will be directed towards the next steps to set up correctly for your telehealth session. However, it is possible that your insurance plan may impose a cost-sharing requirement for you to use this service. This is why we recommend that you call your insurance company to confirm your telehealth coverage PRIOR to scheduling your visit.

You MUST check insurance coverage before coming in for your appointment. Even if you have an excellent insurance policy it does not mean you have coverage for nutritional services.

To verify your nutrition coverage, call the 800 number on the back of your insurance card and ask to speak with a representative from member services.

First, you want to confirm that we are in your insurance network by telling the insurance agent that the provider is Kristen Lorenz NPI 1124784525.

Right now, we are currently contracted with Cigna, Aetna and Medicare. However, some insurance providers may provide out-of-network coverage. Therefore, you should still call your insurance company to confirm if your nutrition visits will qualify for reimbursement.

To verify your nutrition coverage please call the 800 number on the back of your insurance card and ask to speak with a representative from member services. You want to confirm that we are in your insurance network by telling the insurance agent that the provider is Kristen Lorenz, RD NPI 1124784525.

Since the answer will be no, you'll want to ask what your out of network benefits would look like for the following:

• If I provide a superbill, can nutrition services 97802 & 97803 be reimbursed or applied towards deductible?

• If it does not go towards deductible, ask if code Z71.3 is eligible for reimbursement

• If yes, will you be eligible for reimbursement for telehealth visits?

• If yes, how many visits will be reimbursed per calendar year?

In the event your claim is denied for lack of nutrition coverage my initial visits (60-minutes) are $260.00 and each follow-up visit (30-minutes) is $130.00.
