Verifying your benefits

What to ask when you call

Clients are responsible for verifying their own coverage and benefits with their insurance plan. Prior to your appointment, simply call the number on the back of your card and ask them the following questions:

Do I have nutritional counseling coverage on my insurance plan?

  • If the insurance company asks for a CPT or procedure code, please provide them with the codes 97802 & 97803. If they say those codes are not billable, NEXT ask them to check your coverage for the following codes: 99401, 99402, 99403 and 99404. THEN ASK if those codes are covered by YOUR specific plan. Also, MAKE SURE YOU ASK if your plan is self-funded or fully funded. Fully funded plans, under the ACA act, must cover preventative services.

Will my diagnosis be covered?

  • If the representative asks for a diagnosis code – please tell them the visit is coded ICD-10 code: Z71.3

How many visits do I have per calendar year?

  • Your carrier will let you know how many visits they are willing to cover. Depending on the carrier the number of visits vary from 0 to unlimited depending on medical need.

Do I have a co-pay for nutritional counseling?

  • For most insurance companies I am considered a specialist. Therefore, your specialist co-pay is applicable and is payable at the time of service. This information is often apparent on the front of your actual insurance card.

Have I met my deductible?

  • In the event you have a deductible that you’ve not met, your insurance company might apply the visit cost towards your deductible. In the event this happens, you will be responsible for any charges that are applied to your deductible.

Write it all down!

  • Be sure to write down all information provided to you, along with the name of the representative and reference number for the call.

Insurance coverage varies greatly between different companies and plans.

If your insurance declines your visit(s) for any reason, you are responsible for the full amount billed.​
