Insurance Script:
We recommend calling your insurance company to inquire about your out of network coverage. Call the member services number on the back of your card and ask:
1. Does my plan cover out of network outpatient nutrition counseling? (codes: 97802 and 97803)
2. If yes, how many sessions are allowed?
3. Does my plan only cover visits that are “medically necessary”? or does it also cover preventive services? (code: Z71.3)
4. Does my plan cover Telehealth for nutrition counseling? (location code: 02)
5. Do I have a deductible to meet first?
6. If yes, how much is my deductible?
7. How much of the deductible have I met?
8. Do I have a copay for outpatient nutrition counseling?
9. 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.
