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.
