Health Insurance Coverage
We are in network with Medicare, Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBSTX), and United Healthcare.
How do I know if my insurance policy covers nutritional counseling visits?
Your insurance policy may cover the visits for nutrition counseling. Please call the 800 number on the back of your insurance card and ask to speak with a representative. Ask for your preventative and medical benefits, and ask if your policy covers Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT).
Ensure you ask for the limits on both preventative MNT and medical MNT.
In 2 weeks following Medical Nutrition Therapy, I have blood sugar under control.
- Some plans cover specific minutes for MNT, and others are unlimited.
- Medicare only covers the visit if you have diabetes or renal disease.
-
Medicare DOES NOT cover nutritional counseling for pre-diabetes at this time.
- Insurance DOES NOT cover Functional Medicine.
- Insurance DOES NOT cover supplements and our a la carte services.
Please note that if you have insurance that considers Mariana an out-of-network provider, we can provide you with a “Superbill” or an itemized invoice you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Please call the 800 number on the back of your insurance card and ask to speak with a representative. Verify how reimbursement works under your current insurance policy. We cannot submit the reimbursement form on your behalf. Payment is due at the time of service. Initial sessions are $180.00, and follow-up visits are $120.00. We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards.
