Checking Insurance Benefits
This page will guide you through checking your nutrition counseling benefits to ensure that our time together is covered by your insurance plan.
Feed Your Zest Nutrition & Wellness accepts Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and Aetna insurances.
Please note:
We are unable to accept any plans purchased through the Healthcare.gov insurance marketplace, or any HMO or High Performance Network plans. This includes Aetna CVS Health, Blue Home, and Blue Local plans. Ask about our reduced rates if you have one of these plans.
If you are covered by another insurance company we are more than happy to provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement for our sessions. The superbill does not guarantee reimbursement.
