Explore United Healthcare Options

United Healthcare offers a range of insurance plans and coverage options.

Full coverage under preventive care

OutcomeSome policies, particularly those compliant with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), fully cover nutrition counseling for conditions like diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.

Full coverage with copay

OutcomeMany plans require policy holders to pay a portion of the fee, often ranging from $20 to $50 per visit, or a percentage of the total cost after meeting a deductible.

Condition-based reimbursement

OutcomeSome insurers only cover sessions prescribed by a physician for medically necessary conditions, such as gestational diabetes or high-risk pregnancies.

Out-of-network provider limitations

OutcomeIf a dietitian nutritionist is outside the insurance network, reimbursement percentages drop significantly, or coverage may not apply at all. All of our providers are in-network with the major insurance providers.
