Will my insurance cover the services of a Registered Dietitian?
There is no definitive answer, as coverage varies from provider to provider. Coverage of nutrition services is rare for conditions other than diabetes or renal failure, and typically requires a referral from your doctor. Even when covered, insurance rarely pays 100% of the fees — expect to be responsible for at least some of the cost.
If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or flex spending account, those funds are typically accepted for nutrition services — even without a physician referral.
