General Info:
Food and Nutrition Information You Can Trust - Whether you have been diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, classified with mild, moderate or morbid obesity OR you are simply a ‘mom-on-a-mission’ to feed her family a more nutritious diet or you are hoping to gain the competitive edge in sports nutrition… Nutrition Authority is your best source for trustworthy, peer-reviewed, and science-based food and nutrition information. We are committed to improving your health and helping to set you on the path of improved health and wellness. It’s All About Eating Right - We realize how important it is to make good food choices in order to develop improved (but not necessarily perfect) eating habits and make an effort to spend less time sedentary. Getting accurate and reliable information isn’t always easy. In fact, the plethora of nutrition misinformation reported in the media is deceiving and overwhelming. Whether you have a ‘face-to-face’ consult with a Nutrition Authority nutrition education coach, meet by phone or through internet counseling, starting new habits and making positive lifestyle changes with our guidance, will enable you to learn, understand, enjoy and ‘stick-to’ more healthful lifestyle choices without having to give up taste, convenience or the fun of eating! Nutrition Authority offers a variety of nutrition counseling settings and mobile options to help you meet your specific nutrition goals. Nutrition Authority accepts most insurance companies. Insurance coverage varies with each company and every individual plan. While some provide 100% coverage others deny based on the patient not yet having the annual deductible met or it could be denied for not having a qualifying diagnosis. Regardless, many insurance companies do not require a referral from an MD or a qualifying diagnosis. Maybe your insurance company is one of these? Insurance coverage varies a lot. However, to increase the likelihood of insurance covering the face-to-face consult, it is optimal to have a referral from an MD and a qualifying diagnosis. Also, check your employee benefits plan at work. Some plans cover up to $500 for counseling by a Registered Dietitian per year. Most health Savings Accounts (i.e. flex spending plans) allow you to pay for Registered Dietitian services with these funds. Most insurance plans are accepted!
