How to Verify Your Insurance

Nutrition counseling is covered under the Affordable Care Act as preventive medicine, so many insurance company plans generally cover nutrition visits in full as preventive, no referral required; however, there are countless different plans throughout the country, and they each have their nuances. There may be visit limits, so we strongly recommend calling your insurance company to verify your eligibility, in-network participation, and benefits coverage for "Nutritional Counseling and "Medical Nutritional Counseling".


Insurance coverage can vary widely depending on your specific plan and provider. Enter your insurance details below to see if you’re covered. We’ll verify your benefits within 24–48 hours via phone call. If covered, you’ll receive a booking link. If not, we’ll provide self-pay options. Please note that we currently  only offer insurance-covered medical nutrition therapy in MA, CT, and TX.

OUR POLICIES

Cancellation Policy

For your convenience, we securely keep a credit card on file to uphold our no-show and late-cancellation policy. Your card will only ever be charged if a session is missed or canceled within 24 hours of your appointment, if your insurance provider denies coverage, or for any copays/coinsurance. For most of our clients, services are fully covered by insurance, and in the rare event that a copay or coinsurance applies, we’ll let you know in advance. This ensures a seamless, worry-free experience so you can focus fully on your care. Please read our No-show/Late Cancellation Policy below.
No-show  | late cancellations |  late rescheduling
To respect the time of all patients and providers, we ask that you cancel or reschedule appointments at least 24 hours in advance. If you miss your appointment or cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged a $150 late cancellation/no-show fee. This fee is not billable to insurance and will be your responsibility. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late for a scheduled session, it will be considered a no-show and subject to the above fees. Arriving late but within 15 minutes may result in a shortened session, which could limit the care provided and may impact insurance billing. After this, the above fees will apply. We understand that unexpected emergencies can occur. Exceptions may be made at the provider’s discretion in the case of genuine emergencies. The key issue is protected clinician time—a late cancellation often means another patient who needed care was unable to take that appointment, as available time slots are limited due to high patient demand.

FAQ

Which insurance companies does HYGEIA accept?


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.     

Will you be accepting more insurances in the future?


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.

Do you accept private pay or HSA/FSA, and can I use it to pay for my services?


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.

How many sessions are covered by my insurance?


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.

WHY IS A CREDIT CARD NEEDED TO SIGN UP?


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

What if I CANNOT/don’t want to use insurance?

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).

Do I need a referral to be seen?


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.

Are out-of-state clients accepted?


This depends on state licensing laws. In most cases, medical providers and registered dietitians must be licensed in the state where you reside.

We can currently provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (insurance-covered care) in MA, CT, and TX.


We are licensed to provide nutrition counseling (self-pay) in the following U.S. states except for: AL, AK, DE, GA, IA, KS, LA, ME, MD, MN, MS, MT, NE, NV, RI, SC, Washington DC (registered dietitians that work for Hygeia Wellness can provide care for patients for the rest of Washington state, however).
