If you have met your deductible and are covered for my nutrition services based on your diagnosis then you pay your copay.  If you have not met your deductible and my services are covered then you pay for the appointments until you've met your deductible (just like car insurance). Forms of payment:  HSA or FSA card and all major credit cards (plus 3% surcharge) as well as Venmo or Cash App, or check and cash.

How do payments work? 

Here's the catch, dietitians cannot legally diagnose. Your insurance might not require a referral, but I can't diagnose your condition so I will need a faxed referral from your doctor or provider about  your health (diabetes, hypertension, eating disorder or disordered eating behavior) before your appointment.  See fax number in Q2.

Your insurance coverage and patient payment responsibility has to be verified by me BEFORE you schedule your appointment. Clients who are in-network please do the following in Healthie: 
• upload a picture ID plus front & back copy of insurance card in Documents folder
• complete intake forms with date of birth and name on insurance
• Insurance verification can take time and is usually done on Friday

• Do I have a deductible for these nutrition appointments and have I met my deductible?

Insurance FAQ's

*Blue Cross Blue Shield has closed enrollment to new dietitians even though I have tried to be an in-network provider for over 5 years.

**Insurance verification is often a lengthy process and can delay your initial appointment by 2-3 weeks. Thank you for your patience; it is not uncommon for Kay to be on hold for 45-60 minutes to speak with an agent to verify your policy coverage (often calling several times).

Many clients choose to pay for their appointment and send the superbill/invoice to their insurance for reimbursement based on your policy minus any out of pocket expense that is your policy responsibility such as deductible, copay, or co-insurance.
