你知道吗??

Many insurance providers pay for the cost of an appointment with a Registered Dietitian for a variety of health conditions, 比如糖尿病, 减肥, 高血压, 慢性肾病, 高胆固醇, 食物过敏, 心脏病和其他疾病.

Although 家庭必威betwat服务 accepts all insurance plans, not all insurance providers may cover your visit with a Registered Dietitian. 例如, 如果你有医疗保险的话, then you will likely be covered for diabetes or stage 3- or 5-慢性肾病. For Medicaid plans, most health diagnoses will be covered. Private insurances will vary by the carrier plans.

必威betwat提供 浮动收费标准 for insurances that do not cover visits with a Registered Dietitian.
