Long Island Nutritionist is a fully virtual nutrition practice. We offer high quality, award winning, convenient care using HIPPA compliant telehealth for your dietitian  to meet with you wherever you are. We offer extended PM hours to fit your schedule so you can select an appointment time that meets your needs comfortably day, afternoon, or evening!

Long Island Nutritionist offers an  individualized approach for each patient therefore the frequency and number of nutrition sessions really depends on your personal goals, your specific health goals, any relevant disease states and their current stage of management at the time of your initial consultation. Generally, patient's achieve better results when seen more frequently (once a week) as they are held more accountable and mindful. However, depending on the patient's personality, level of motivation, and budget we will work with you weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly, depending upon your needs. This approach provides an opportunity to work with you during real life eating situations that arise over time including holidays, birthdays, restaurant dining, weddings,  vacations and more. As described, some patients need more follow-up than others — while the frequency varies from client to client, our dedication to you and your needs to  achieve your goals are consistent. 

We currently work with 1199 SEIU Funds, Aetna, Cigna, The Empire Plan NYSHIP, Healthfirst, Magnacare, Meritain Health, Northwell Direct and United Healthcare. 

Long Island Nutritionist  is currently in-network with the following major insurance companies: 1199 SEIU Funds, Aetna, Cigna, The Empire Plan NYSHIP, Healthfirst, Magnacare, Meritain Health, Northwell Direct and United Healthcare.  For in-network patients, we work with your insurance company to ensure coverage.

‍

97% of in-network patients pay $0 out of pocket and have unlimited sessions through preventative care covered by insurance.

In rare cases, there are costs associated with using insurance such as a small co-pay (~$25 on average). In these cases, you will be responsible for those fees once we receive an explanation of benefits from your insurance after the claim has been submitted. If your insurance requests a copay, we will reach out to you personally and you will be responsible for its payment at that time. 

We also offer private pay services if your insurance does not cover sessions, please visit our "Services" tab and scroll down to "Insurance and Fees" for more information. 

If we are out of network, we can provide you with a superbill for you to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your specific out-of-network benefits on your policy. 

Yes! We accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and FSA  as a method of payment as our nutrition services are a qualified medical expense.

No, at this time we do not accept Medicare. Please be aware that Medicare will only cover nutrition therapy if you have a diagnosis of diabetes or chronic kidney disease. Unfortunately, any other conditions (including pre-diabetes) are not covered by Medicare at all.
