It is no secret that our health insurance is expensive, costing American’s 10-30% of their monthly income. Despite this cost, many of us continue to struggle with health issues like fatigue, chronic stress, and confusion around best nutrition practices.
While the healthcare reform is the ultimate goal; there's some good news about your existing health insurance coverage.
You can likely work with a dietitian - nutritionist for FREE, with no out-of-pocket expenses; 100% covered by your insurance.
What exactly can a dietitian-nutritionist do for you? It's a fair question, and it's probably more than you realize (PS - this is not an exhaustive list).

In most cases, NOTHING.
Almost ALL major insurance companies offer some form of dietitian-driven personalized nutrition care.
All you need to do is…
ASK.
Call your insurance company and ask.
Follow these steps to learn how to use your insurance benefits for a healthier you in 2024.
1. Check Your Nutritional Counseling: Ensure that your insurance covers nutritional counseling.
2. Get Specific: See if it covers counseling for your specific health condition.
3. Know Your Annual Coverage: Ask about the annual limit for nutrition care under your plan.
4. Cost Considerations: Be aware of any costs like co-pays.
5. Let Dietitian-Driven, a 100% insurance based-nutrition practice guide you toward better health by signing up for a FREE 15-minute initial inquiry call.
I am Monica (Marcello) Barmore, the founder and lead dietitian of Dietitian Driven LLC, a 100% insurance-based nutrition practice, specializing in gut, hormone and metabolic health. My goal for this practice is to be a part of the (healthcare) solution, not part of the (healthcare) problem.
Many of my dietitian/nutritionist peers operate in the private pay space because it is easier to accept and receive payment. Afterall, it makes sense – we want to be paid timely and fairly.
However, with more and more providers seeking easy/quick payment, less and less folks have access to nutrition care and counseling – something I believe is a fundamental human right.
As part of Dietitian Driven, my mission is to provide affordable, accessible, and effective nutrition care to those who are managing chronic gut, metabolic and hormone - related conditions.
