Straight Talk

Does My Insurance Cover Nutrition Visits?

The short answer: We hope so.

The long answer: MDD Nutrition is a private practice office here to help our clients reach their wellness goals. We submit claims as a courtesy to our clients. We passionately believe that Nutrition Counseling and wellness services should be covered — but ultimately, the client is responsible for any balances due.

If your claim is denied: Call your insurance company and ask why nutrition counseling isn't covered. You have the right to appeal.

Let's go retro — you can always call us and we can actually speak to one another on the phone. We'll do our best to answer all of your questions. 704-846-7105
