Frequently asked questions

Life Inspired Nutrition (LIN) is a weight inclusive, non-dieting nutrition private practice specializing in helping  clients heal their relationship with food, physical activity and body image. LIN serves individuals, couples, and families. I work from an intuitive eating approach focused on weight inclusivity.
I work to establish a safe, trusting, and healing environment based upon open communication.

The first session is all about getting to know you, your history, your needs and desired support.  Diana will have already learned a lot about you based upon your intake paperwork so the first session is an opportunity to dive deeper into your history and goals for treatment.

I provide individualized and collaborative nutrition care for each client, meaning that we will work together to determine the best recommendations. A meal plan may or may not be a part of your treatment plan. Whether or not you receive a meal plan, you can count on a treatment plan emphasizing sustainability, balance and care.

LIN does not accept insurance directly and is considered an out-of-network provider. All sessions are considered fee-for-service, where payment is due at the time of service. Certain insurance providers may cover nutrition counseling services, but many do not. Often a physician referral may help to obtain coverage, but LIN is not responsible for guaranteeing coverage. LIN can provide clients with a “superbill” listing your services for clients to submit to their insurance provider for possible reimbursement. If clients choose to submit an insurance claim, reimbursement will go directly to the client, as they will have already paid directly for their session. Client acknowledges it is their direct responsibility to know what their specific insurance plan covers, whether or not a referral or pre-authorization is required and if there are any limitations of coverage (number of allowed visits, covered diagnoses, etc). 

 The best place to start is by calling your insurance company. The following questions may help determine reimbursement eligibility:

1. Do I have out-of-network benefits to see a registered dietitian for the following CPT codes: initial session 97802 and follow-up sessions 97803?

2. If yes, what amount of the fee will you cover?

3. Is pre-authorization required in order to submit an out-of-network claim?

4. What is the deductible, and how much of the deductible have I met?
