Verifying Benefits

Before your visit, please call your insurance company and ask:

  • Does my plan cover nutrition counseling sessions (specifically CPT billing codes 97802 and 97803)?
  • Is Kristie Tovar Nutrition & Wellness (NPI 1255949616) covered under my plan? If not, what are my out-of network nutrition benefits?
  • Do I have preventative benefits for nutrition counseling?
  • Does my plan cover diagnosis code Z71.3 with CPT code 97802 or 97803?
  • Do I have a copay for in-person sessions or for telehealth sessions?
  • Do I have a deductible to meet before insurance pays? How much is my deductible?
  • How many visits are covered?
  • Do I need a physician referral or prior authorization?

Write down the date and reference number for your call and keep this number saved somewhere safe. We will also provide a written document with this information so you can have it handy to call insurance to verify coverage.

​If you are paying for services without using insurance, please reach out and we will discuss session rates.
