Insurance Coverage
Important Information Regarding Your Telehealth Appointments After September 30, 2025
Due to the expiration of temporary policy flexibilities put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, most insurance providers will no longer cover telehealth visits in the same manner after September 30, 2025. These changes affect how and where telehealth appointments can be conducted, and they are unfortunately outside of our control.
Since this practice is 100% Telehealth, by phone or videochat, payment options are as follows:
Telehealth Services provided on a private-pay basis
This means you will be responsible for the full cost of the visit, and I will not bill your insurance. The private-pay rate for a 60-minute telehealth session will be $100. However, follow-up appointments are based on time. For example, a 15-minute follow-up will be $25, a 30-minute follow-up will be $50, and a 45-minute follow-up will be $75. Payment will be collected at the time of service.
Use your out-of-network benefits
If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement. I can provide you with the necessary documentation (e.g., a "superbill"), but cannot guarantee coverage or reimbursement. You will still be responsible for the full private-pay rate at the time of your appointment.
Frequently asked questions about insurance coverage
Q: Do you accept insurance coverage?
A: Unfortunately No. Due to the expiration of temporary policy flexibilities put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, most insurance providers will no longer cover telehealth visits in the same manner after September 30, 2025. These changes affect how and where telehealth appointments can be conducted, and they are unfortunately outside of our control.
Q: What is the cost of nutrition counseling?
A: The private pay rate for an initial consultation is $100 and a follow-up consultation is based on time. For example a 30-minute follow-up is $50. This is considered a discounted rate for private pay clients, those who pay out-of-pocket at the time of service. Private payment is paid with a credit card at the time you book your appointment.
Q: Will I need a referral from my doctor?
A: No. You can schedule nutrition counseling without a doctor’s referral.
Q: Can I use my HSA or FSA account to pay for products and services at Active Nutrition?
A: We cannot guarantee our products and services are allowable under your HSA or FSA account. Contact your HSA or FSA account manager for more information.
