We are currently in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield/Anthem, Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim, and Medicare.
Coverage depends on your insurance plan and benefits. We accept various insurance providers, and many of our services may be covered under Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) or preventive care. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify your benefits, or we can assist you in checking coverage before your first appointment.
We continuously strive to expand the range of insurance accepted at Hygeia. If there’s a particular insurance provider you’d like us to consider adding, please feel free to contact our support team at hygeiawellnessco@gmail.com.
Yes, we accept private pay as well as HSA and FSA payments for our services. If we do not accept your insurance or if you don’t have insurance, you can still utilize these payment options for your nutrition counseling sessions.
The number of covered sessions depends on your specific insurance plan. While most of our patients have no limits on visits and can attend as many sessions as they need per year, some plans may impose restrictions. To get detailed information about your coverage, call the member services number on the back of your card and ask about your benefits for Medical Nutrition Therapy.
We require a credit card to be kept on file for all clients, primarily to enforce our late cancellation/no-show policy ($100) or for any copays/coinsurance. You will only be responsible for a no-show fee if you fail to show up to your appointment or attempt to cancel/reschedule it within 24 hours of the appointment start time.
Some patients incur some out-of-pocket costs from their insurance, such as copayments or coinsurance. In those instances, you will be responsible for those fees. However, we will not charge you without advanced notice
We offer self-pay options for all services. For a 60-minute assessment, expect to pay $150. For follow-up consultations, expect to pay a package price depending on what the package is.
3-month package (12 weekly sessions): $150 per session ($1,800).
6-month package:
(discounted price per session, 24 weekly sessions): $120 per session ($2,880).
Most clients do not need a referral to access nutrition or medical services. However, if you're using insurance, some plans may require a referral or diagnosis code. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm.
This depends on state licensing laws. In most cases, medical providers and registered dietitians must be licensed in the state where you reside.
