How much does an appointment cost?

Joyful Family Nutrition is currently in-network with five major insurance companies: Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and Medicare. For in-network patients, most of them pay $0 out of pocket, while others are only responsible for a copay or coinsurance. 

We also offer private pay services $200/hour if your insurance does not cover the medical nutrition therapy service.

Can I use my HSA/FSA?

You are welcome to pay for services using HSA or FSA funds.

Do I need a referral or prior authorization?

Patients from Massachusetts, Maryland, and New York who use major commercial insurance plans usually don't need a referral form.

All patients from California would need a referral from, as California state law requires Registered Dietitians to have a referral from your physician with a diagnosis to provide services. 

• Patients who use Medicare would need a referral and a diagnosis of either type 1 or type 2 diabetes or chronic kidney disease for coverage.
