Individual nutrition counseling sessions provide personal support as well as nutrition goals and treatment plans tailored to your individual needs and objectives.
During your initial consultation, we will talk about your concerns and what you hope to accomplish through nutrition counseling. We will discuss your medical history, eating patterns, beliefs about food and nutrition, and other background information that will be helpful to us in working together to create an overall plan and individual progress goals.
Policies
Payments
All payments are due at the time of service, in the form of cash or check (made out to Britta Leverkuhn).
If I will be billing your insurance provider directly, the client is responsible for the co-pay amount at the time of service. Please see the Insurance Policy for more information.
Phone Calls
You are welcome to call and leave a brief message at any point between sessions.
If a phone conversation approaches 15 minutes in length, I will let you know and you can choose to either continue the conversation during a scheduled session or pay a pro-rated fee for the phone consultation.
Cancellation Policy
Please note that I do have a 24-hour cancellation policy. The client will be billed in full for any no-show or cancellation within 24-hours of the pre-scheduled appointment. Insurance companies will not cover missed or cancelled appointments.
Insurance Policy
At this time, I work with Regence and Aetna insurance companies. If you have insurance through one of these providers, I can bill that insurance provider directly. At the time of service, you are responsible for your co-pay.
Because insurance plans and coverage vary, it is a good idea to call your insurance company before your first session and ask them the following questions:
- Am I covered for nutrition counseling provided by a Registered Dietitian?
- If so, how many visits am I entitled to?
- What is my co-pay?
- Do I require a physician referral?
For some insurance companies, a physician referral may improve the likelihood of coverage, although a physician referral does not guarantee coverage.
Upon request, I will provide a detailed receipt that may be submitted to an insurance provider with whom I am not currently working.
Unpaid Accounts
Outstanding invoices left unpaid more than three months will be sent to collections and a $50.00 service charge will be added.
