Dallas Registered Dietitian Nutritionist & Diabetes Educator

We are currently accepting selected BCBS plans. Please call your provider to check coverage. Each plan is unique, but most insurance plans consider nutritional counseling to be a preventative service, but some plans consider it a medical service. Here's how your visit might be covered: 

• 100% with no patient responsibility 
• Payment subject to specialist copay, deductible and/or co-insurance 

Whitness nutrition can provide a superbill (itemized list of services) for you to submit to another insurance company. The superbill does not guarantee reimbursement. 

Call the customer service number on your BCBS card. Ask these questions:

• • Does my plan cover nutrition counseling; procedure codes 97802, 97803 and 97804. 
  • Is nutrition counseling under the preventive care side of my benefits or is it under my medical care side of my benefits 
  • Are visits limited to specific diagnosis codes? If so, which ones. 
  • Are there are restrictive diagnosis codes, if so which ones? 
  • Is there a limit of number of visits or units, per day/year? 
  • Do i have a deductible to meet before insurance pays? If so, how much is the deductible? 
  • How much of the deductible has been met to this date? 
  • Is a doctor referral required? Is a referral authorization form my insurance required?
  • Ask if benefits for telehealth are the same as in person. 

• If you are calling someone other than bcbs, you want to ask what your out of network nutrition counseling benefits are. If out-of-network, can I submit a Superbill for reimbursement?
• Record the representatives name that you speak with and a call reference # when checking your benefits. This info is necessary to dispute a rejected claim. 

It is so important to note that all benefit inventions are ESTIMATES of coverage, not a guarantee of coverage. Coverage is subject to plan benefits and account standing at the time the services are rendered. 

I work 100% virtual. I work with patients all over the nation. I have a large amount of patients in Texas and if you are in the DFW area and book a 6 or 12 week package you may opt in for a grocery shopping tour which would be in person. Otherwise, our weekly sessions are via Zoom or phone each week.

This largely varies on the package which you choose and if you are utilizing BCBS insurance. Book a discovery call so that we can review a plan that would be best suited for you. In general, most individuals do best in our 6 and 12 session package programs. I offer single appointments to review labs, continuous glucose monitor trends, and review education for gestational diabetes but anyone working on a health goal will be advised to pursue 6 or 12 sessions together, at minimum. Humans are not robots and as you grow in your nutritional strengths and need less accountability we will meet less often, but initially we meet weekly. Patients who I have followed for a longer period of time now check in monthly or quarterly, as needed.

I work with adults and adolescents over the age of 16. I do not work with active eating disorders.
