Services

Call now to make an appointment.  I take insurance!

Personalized Nutrition Consultations

 

I provide a complete nutritional, medical, lifestyle and psychosocial assessment through a naturopathic and functional lens complete with an individualized plan of care, education and counseling to individuals and/or families.  Sessions will include a review of pertinent labs, food allergy or other specialized testing, supplements and prescriptions.

 

These sessions can take place in person or through video conferencing via Skype for convenience.

 

I work in an integrated fashion with many allied health care providers and will often recommend additional services as a way to augment your plan. 

 

Nutrition Counseling and Insurance Coverage:

Many insurance companies cover nutrition services.

I am contracted with most major insurance companies:

  • Aetna

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield

  • Cigna

  • Harvard Pilgrim HealthCare

  • Medicare

  • Tufts Health Plan

  • United Health Care

 

It is important to check with your insurance provider about nutrition coverage and ask the following questions:

  • Do you cover nutrition counseling?

  • Is a referral required by a Primary Care Provider (PCP)?

 

If your insurance does cover nutrition services, please complete the following:

  • Call your PCP’s office for a referral, if required, prior to the nutrition session.

  • Bring your insurance card with you to the initial visit.

  • Plan to pay for the co-pay at the time of the visit.

 

For services not covered by insurance a Fee Schedule is available here:

Group Education

 

I conduct group presentations to corporations for worksite wellness  programs or to other interested businesses on a wide range of topics; these are fee-for-service. 

 

I also present collaboratively with physicians and advanced care professionals for Group Medical Visits which are billable to insurance on topics ranging from detoxification to digestive, adrenal and cardiometabolic health, within the functional medicine/nutrition model.
