Fees are subject to change. Insurance coverage for medical nutrition therapy is dependent upon individual policies that are negotiated between insurance companies and employers. It is often necessary to contact your insurance company to determine if specific nutrition services are covered. If insurance does not cover nutrition therapy, some people use their employer's flex-benefit ("cafeteria") plan to pay for this service.
