Medicare covers 3 hours of one-on-one counseling services the first year, and 2 hours each year after that.

Will my insurance cover the services of a Registered Dietitian?
There is no definitive answer for that question, as coverage varies from provider to provider. Coverage of dietitian/nutrition services is rare for conditions other than diabetes or renal failure and typically require a referral from your doctor. Regardless, insurance does not typically cover 100% of the fees in any situation and you will be responsible for at least some of the costs. If you have a Health savings Account (HSA)/ flex spending account, it is typically acceptable to use those funds to pay for dietitian/nutrition services, even without a physician referral.
