Many health insurance plans will reimburse for MNT (Medical Nutrition

Our nutrition experts are Registered and Licensed Dietitians. This distinction

Health Insurance Providers We Work With:
We are approved for health insurance reimbursement by Medicare, United
Healthcare and Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island’s credentialing
committees as a Participating Dietitian/Nutritionist Provider.
If your insurance carrier is not listed here, you can still see us but we may be
considered out of network and therefore, may not be covered by your
insurance. However, we can offer a bill for you to submit to your insurance
company, if you wish, for possible reimbursement as well.
If your Health Plan DOES NOT INCLUDE nutrition coverage, we offer extremely
affordable packages. You and your Registered Dietitian will make this
assessment and will recommend additional appointments accordingly. Once
you have met your personal goal, follow-up appointments can be purchased in
advance at a discounted rate. Our Nutrition Card is available for $85, and
allows for five 15-minute follow-up visits.
