Checking Insurance Benefits
This page will guide you through checking your nutrition counseling benefits to ensure our time together is covered by your insurance plan. I always encourage patients to call to confirm their coverage for our time together.
STEPS:
Call the member services number on the back of your card and ask:
​
-
Is Fuel Your Freedom in network with my plan? (NPI: 1922644749)
-
Does my plan cover outpatient nutrition counseling? (codes: 97802 and 97803)
-
If yes, how many how many sessions are allowed?
-
Does my plan only cover visits that are “medically necessary”? or does it also cover preventive services? (code: Z71.3)
-
-
Does my plan cover telehealth for nutrition counseling? (location code: 10)
-
If located outside of AR - does my plan cover telehealth for providers located out of state?
-
-
Do I have a deductible to meet first?
-
If yes, how much is my deductible?
-
How much of the deductible have I met?
-
-
Do I have a copay for outpatient nutrition counseling?
-
Do I need a physician referral?
-
Record the representative’s name and a reference # when checking your benefits. This information will be necessary if you ever need to dispute a rejected claim.
