Yes. Eat and Thrive Now is in-network with most major insurance plans for nutrition counseling and medical nutrition therapy (MNT). 

We accept all major insurance plans, including Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Highmark, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and commercial Medicare Advantage plans.  

Insurance coverage depends on your plan, diagnosis, and location. Our team verifies your benefits for you and reviews any copays or out-of-pocket costs before care begins.

We handle insurance verification as part of our service. 

After you request a free consultation or appointment, our administrative team contacts your insurance company directly to verify coverage for nutrition counseling. We then explain your benefits clearly so you can make informed decisions with no surprises. 

Yes. We offer a free 15-minute nutrition consultation for new clients. 

During this call, you can: 

• Discuss your health goals and concerns 

• Learn how nutrition counseling may help 

• Ask questions about insurance, visits, and next steps 

There’s no obligation — it’s simply a way to determine if Eat and Thrive Now is the right fit.

Your initial nutrition visit is 60 minutes. 

Your registered dietitian will review your medical history, eating patterns, lifestyle, and goals. Together, you’ll begin developing personalized, evidence-based strategies that fit your life and support long-term health. 

Care is collaborative, realistic, and judgment-free.

Before your appointment, you’ll receive access to our secure, HIPAA-compliant patient portal. 

You’ll complete intake forms and upload a photo ID in advance. This allows your dietitian to focus fully on your care during the visit rather than paperwork.

If you need help at any point, our team is available by phone or email.

Follow-up nutrition visits typically last 30–60 minutes. 

Most clients start with visits every 1–3 weeks, then space visits out as progress is made. Frequency is individualized based on your health needs and goals.

Payment expectations are always reviewed in advance.

Often, no referral is required to schedule an appointment.
