Steps you need to do prior to booking your first appointment:
First you need to call to verify you do in fact have benefits on your insurance policy for nutritional counseling.
This is often the case EVEN if you don’t have an actual diagnosis BUT still want to come in for nutrition counseling for prevention of a disease.
Start by calling the 800 number on the back of your insurance card and ask to speak with a representative.
The information below will walk you through the steps to take to see if your insurance will cover the cost of nutrition counseling for your visit.
At the present time Lindsay is in network with Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield, Regence, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, and First Choice Health.
However, that does not mean all insurance plans cover nutrition. Therefore, you are required to call your insurance company prior to scheduling your visit to confirm your nutrition visits will be covered. Please follow the steps below ‘What questions should I ask when calling my insurance?’
If the insurance company asks for a CPT code please provide them with the following codes 97802 & 97803. If they say you do not have coverage using those codes NEXT ask them to check your coverage for the following CPT codes: 99401, 99402, 99403 and 99404. We also can bill for S9470 if it is covered on your policy.
Will my diagnosis be covered?
How many visits do I have per calendar year?
Do I have a cost-share for my nutrition visit?
Summary of questions to ask to verify your nutrition benefits
Do I need a referral?
If you have verified you do have nutrition benefits for your appointments- please call your primary care provider to request a referral for medical nutrition therapy. While it is not always required by your insurance, it is often best practice to do so. This referral is minimal, such as simply verifying your height, weight, and BMI via a chart note. If you have any diagnoses (overweight, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.) please have that included on the form.
This referral can be faxed to Lindsay Henley LLC at: 509-606-0440 or submitted electronically via the electronic HIPPA compliant form here
If you have any questions after verifying your benefits we are happy to help. Please email Lindsay at lindsayhenleywellness@gmail.com
She will return your message within 48 business hours.
Most insurances are still covering for telehealth services. Therefore, when you schedule your visit you will be directed towards the next steps to setting up properly for your telehealth session. However, it is possible your insurance plan may impose a cost-share for you to use this service. Please call your insurance company to confirm your telehealth coverage PRIOR to scheduling your visit.
With that being said, if you prefer to be in-person at our Newport, WA Office we are happy to accommodate your request.
