Nutrition Counseling

Available for in-person and/or telenutrition appointments (now accepting new clients)

​Telenutrition uses technology to provide nutrition support while saving time, money and resources. It also allows clients who are physically unable to attend in-person sessions, or who may have limitations that prevent them from leaving home, to get the care they require. 

Together we can make a plan to help you meet your health and nutrition goals, and succeed at any/all goals you have set.

​Insurance Coverage

Many people inquire about insurance coverage. It is something I encourage all my patients to explore. Currently, I only accept in-network insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota and Medicare Part B. However, this does not guarantee coverage: As the patient, you will be asked to verify coverage. If your insurance does not cover the cost, you will be financially responsible for paying the full amount of services rendered. (See below for attachment: The Insurance Handout)

Don't have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota health insurance? Fear not, I am more than happy to create a Superbill (a claim you, as the patient, will submit to your insurance). On the day of service, I will supply you the completed form. From there, insurance will pay the claim directly to you. 

Confusing? Well, sadly, that's insurance. But I'm here to help guide you through the process. Get in touch with me today to see how we can best meet your needs in the most affordable way possible. Download the form below to guide you through the process, so you know what questions to ask your insurance company.
