Insurance & Appointments
Quality Nutrition Care Should Be Accessible
At Carolina Core Nutrition, we believe everyone deserves access to evidence-based nutrition care without unnecessary financial barriers. That's why we're an insurance-based private practice, allowing patients to use their health insurance benefits for personalized nutrition counseling with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN).
Many insurance plans cover nutrition counseling at little to no out-of-pocket cost! Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan, medical needs, and individual benefits.
Insurance Plans We Accept:
-
Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)
-
UnitedHealthcare (UHC)
-
Aetna
-
Cigna
-
Humana
-
VA Community Care (with an approved referral)
We also welcome self-pay patients.
Insurance participation and coverage may vary by specific plan, network, and provider. Please contact us, or your insurance company directly, to verify your benefits before your appointment.
Will My Insurance Cover Nutrition Counseling?
You may be surprised to learn that your insurance plan includes benefits for visits with a Registered Dietitian!
Depending on your plan, nutrition counseling may be covered for:
-
Diabetes and pre diabetes
-
High blood pressure and elevated cholesterol
-
Heart disease
-
Chronic kidney disease
-
Weight management
-
Gastrointestinal conditions
-
Other nutrition-related medical concerns
Some plans offer preventive nutrition counseling benefits even without a diagnosed medical condition.
Our team can help verify your insurance benefits before your first appointment. We'll review available information about your coverage, including applicable copays, deductibles, and visit limitations.
Verification of benefits is not a guarantee of payment. Final coverage is determined by your insurance company when your claim is processed.
What If My Insurance Doesn't Cover Nutrition Counseling?
We believe cost shouldn't prevent you from receiving the support you need.
For patients without applicable insurance coverage, we offer self-pay appointments at $150 per visit.
Our team can help you understand your available options before scheduling.
