According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Commission on Dietetic Registration, "Every Registered Dietitian is a Nutritionist, but not every Nutritionist is a Registered Dietitian". Registered Dietitians are required to have met certain educational and professional requirements in nutrition sciences, including 1200 hours of supervised practice through an accredited dietetic internship program, and must pass the national registration exam. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and CDR approved use of the credential RDN, which stands for Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. It communicates that RDs are qualified to treat medical conditions through Medical Nutrition Therapy as well as provide nutritional counseling focused on wellness and prevention. This is a really important difference as credentials mean credibility!

We accept insurance! Nutrition counseling is a benefit for many people whether they have diabetes, heart disease, weight issues or just looking for preventative nutrition care visits. Good Health is contracted with Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna plans. You may be eligible for out-of-network nutrition services and every plan is different so call your insurance company for an explanation of benefits associated with your policy prior to booking. It is your responsibility to check with your insurance company to see what your benefits include for nutrition counseling such as a copay, coinsurance, deductible and number of visits allowed per calendar year. If you have out-of-network benefits, we will provide a "superbill" for you to submit to your insurance company directly for possible reimbursement. Please contact our office if you have any questions - we're here to help!

The first session is 60 minutes long. During this time, we learn about your lifestyle, food habits, and medical history in order to develop the best plan specifically tailored to your needs. At the end of this appointment, you walk away with sustainable, practical goals. Between sessions, you will have access to our food journaling platform that is highly individualized with picture text capabilities as well as instant text messaging with your dietitian. PRIOR TO INITIAL CONSULTATION: We kindly ask that you fill out our client intake prior to your first appointment. This allows us to prepare for the session by learning about you.

Good Health respects the time of our clients. We do not overbook appointments and that time is completely designated for you. Therefore, a full 24-hour notice of cancellation is required or the client is responsible for a $50 fee. We require a credit card to be held on file, in a secure format, for all clients. You will be notified before any charges are made. Insurance does not cover these costs.
