A: We need your insurance card and ID to help us verify your coverage and submit claims quickly, accurately, and correctly—so your session goes smoothly with no surprises.

Some insurance providers are owned by larger parent companies, which means you might still be in-network even if your plan isn’t listed. We can do a free benefits check for you to confirm.

If it turns out your plan is truly out-of-network, no worries—you can still work with me! I can provide a superbill (an itemized invoice) that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

We're only licensed to bill insurance in certain states. If your state isn't listed, you can still work with me just as a self-pay client.

You can still work with me as a self-pay client. My rate is $150 for an initial session and $100 for 45-minute follow-ups. You can also use an HSA or FSA card to pay, which can make it easier to cover the cost.

Absolutely—it’s always a good idea! You can give your insurance provider a quick call to check coverage for nutrition counseling or registered dietitian visits. I’ll also verify it on my end so you get the clearest info possible—because let’s be real, insurance companies don’t always get it right the first time you call.

Sessions are usually about an hour, which gives us plenty of time to answer all your questions without feeling rushed.

How often we meet depends on what you're working on: some clients start and weekly to build momentum, others go biweekly or monthly once they have a handle on things, and some schedule sessions as needed when life throws them a curveball. At the end of each session, we'll make a plan together that fits your schedule and helps keep you moving toward your goals.

Life happens—and I get it! If you need to cancel or reschedule, just give me at least 24 hours’ notice so we can avoid any cancellation fees. If something unexpected comes up last-minute, reach out anyway either through the client portal or email me at amanda@t1dnutritionist.com and we’ll go over your options.

Your first session is all about getting to know you and your diabetes journey. We’ll review your current diabetes management, medical history, and medications, and spend time talking about your goals—what’s working, what’s challenging, and what you’d like to focus on moving forward. Think of it as a roadmap session: by the end, we’ll have a clear starting point for creating a plan that fits your life and your T1D goals.
