Insurance Coverage for Nutrition Counseling

Please be aware that New Leaf Nutrition Counseling may call your insurance company to assist you in verifying coverage as a courtesy but we cannot guarantee payment from your insurance company. Any charges denied by your insurance company will be billed directly to you. If you have questions or concerns, you may find it helpful to contact your insurance company directly.

****Please note that while most insurance companies do not require a referral, medical records are preferred as they can assist our providers in providing adequate care*********
