Is Registered Dietitian covered by my insurance?

Many extended medical insurance plans and health spending accounts cover nutrition counseling by a Registered Dietitian. Check your plan to see what is covered for you. Since every insurance company has different policies, please be sure to check with them regarding dietitian coverage per session and per year. We do not direct bill to insurance companies but will provide you with a detailed receipt that includes our dietitian practice permit number, description of service, dates of counseling sessions and consulting fee breakdown per hour.

If your plan does not cover the services of a Registered Dietitian, save your receipt. In the province of British Columbia, Registered Dietitians are classified as an “Authorized Medical Practitioner” as shown here. What this means is that you can save your receipts and supply them to your accountant for a non-refundable tax credit.
