Frequently asked questions
Nourish is a Telehealth nutrition counseling platform that connects patients with Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs). We're available in all 50 states and have a network of 9,000+ dietitians who specialize across dozens of conditions and health goals.
Here's how it works: after signing up and verifying your insurance, you browse our dietitian directory, choose a provider who fits your needs, and book a telehealth appointment via Zoom. Your first session is a comprehensive assessment where your dietitian gets to know your health history, goals, and lifestyle and builds a personalized care plan. Follow-up sessions put that plan into action with ongoing coaching, accountability, and adjustments over time.
Between sessions, you can message your dietitian, log meals, track progress, and access recipes and resources through the Nourish app. 94% of our patients pay $0 out-of-pocket — Nourish handles all insurance verification and claim submissions so you can focus on your health.
Nourish is available in all 50 states!
We will reach out to a referred patient within 1 business day and we offer appointments within 24 hours.
We have RDs covering every major specialty, you can read more about the different conditions we treat here.
We communicate with referring providers and partners throughout the process to share clinical notes and coordinate treatment. We make sure to keep them updated every step of the process.
We recommend providers refer patients when they see any of the following:
- A newly diagnosed condition
- Non-compliance with treatment or medications

At this time, Nourish does not accept any Medicaid plans.
We’re eager to support this population in the future and are actively working to become credentialed with these plans, but it’s an extensive process.
This typically happens when Nourish can't automatically verify your insurance coverage. Email support@nourish.com and the team will help verify your benefits and provide next steps!
Yes, Nourish is actively expanding its insurance network. You can reach out to request that your plan be added, but due to limitations with some Insurance Carriers, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to become in-network with them.
Please reach out to your medical provider and ask for a referral to see a registered dietitian covered under Medicare.

The Nourish Guarantee is our commitment to providing a no-surprise billing experience for you! Our guarantee is:
- If your appointment gets denied, we won't charge you for any appointments that have already occurred. You get those appointments for free.
- If your appointment has a copay or coinsurance, you will not be charged more than your initial estimate for any appointments you’ve had until we learn your real cost. Once we learn your actual copay or coinsurance, you will be immediately notified over email. For future appointments afterwards, you will be charged the full copay or coinsurance amount.
- If your appointment goes towards your deductible, we'll offer you two options for any appointments that already took place until that point
- You can either pay the deductible and keep doing appointments covered by insurance, or
- You can choose to not pay it and we won’t charge you anything for appointments you’ve had. For any future appointments, you’ll need to pay out-of-pocket.

Yes, Nourish accepts Medicare. Medicare covers Medical Nutritional Therapy for the following medical conditions:
- Diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2)
- Chronic kidney disease (stage 3 or higher)
- Post-kidney transplant within the last 36 months
No other diagnoses, including pre-diabetes will be covered.
If you don’t have a qualifying diagnosis for one of the covered conditions, your supplemental insurnace will not cover the appointment costs.
A referral from your medical provider is required. We require referrals to be completed by an MD or DO, listing the qualifying diagnosis on the referral. The referral can be faxed to: 512-399-9039.
No! 94% of our patients have sessions fully covered by insurance, at $0 out of pocket cost to them. There are no other hidden or surprise fees with Nourish. That said, you will be responsible for any copay or co-insurance payments determined by your insurance policy agreement.
Yes! You are welcome to pay using HSA or FSA funds.
If your insurance changes, you can update it at any time through the Billing & Insurance tab in the Nourish App. You will need to add photos of the front & back of your insurnace card, so ensure you have your card handy!
If you want to learn more about your new plans coverage, you can plug your new plan’s information into our coverage calculator or contact your new carrier to ask about your plans coverage for Medical Nutritional Therapy. For new coverage, we typically recommend contacting your insurance to ask, so you have all the figures for your new coverage!
A credit card on file is required to cover any potential patient responsibility amounts (copays, coinsurance, deductible amounts, or no-show fees) after insurance processes claims. You will always be notified before any charge is applied.
Under the Nourish Guarantee, if a claim is denied, you won't be charged for any sessions that already took place. Nourish will work with you to address the denial.
For any claim denials, our team will investigate the denial and if applicable, reach out to your insurance provider for additional details regarding your denial. If possible, we will have the claim sent back for review and reprocessing. If your plan will not cover our services, you will receive an email stating that your claim was denied by your insurance provider, you will not be responsible for the appointments you have had, but going forward for any appointments, you will need to be self-pay.
The number of covered appointments depends on your specific plan. Most patients have no visit limits and can do as many sessions per year as they want. However, some plans have strict visit limits — use the coverage calculator at nourish.com/does-my-insurance-cover-nutrition or call the member services number on the back of your card to ask about Medical Nutrition Therapy benefits. If calling, please provide the representative with CPT codes 97802 and 97803 for Medical Nutritional Therapy.
If insurance denies claims because you hit your visit limit, Nourish will not charge you for sessions that have already occurred.
Enter your insurance information during the sign-up flow and Nourish will filter the dietitian directory to show only dietitians in-network with your plan!
A copay is a fixed fee (determined by your insurance) that you pay for each session.
A coinsurance is similar - it is a fee that you must pay for each session after you meet your deductible. The amount is determined by insurance, and it is typically a percentage of the total appointment cost.
Use our insurance coverage calculator to verify your coverage and get an estimate for your copay or coinsurance to see a Nourish dietitian.
Please note that the calculator provides an estimate for your copay/coinsurance, and while we do our best to give you the most accurate estimate possible, sometimes the actual cost you get back from insurance may vary. In that case, you will be responsible for payment for the copay/coinsurance cost determined by your insurance.
A deductible is an agreed-upon amount you must pay for covered healthcare services before your insurance plan starts to pay. You can find out your deductible amount (and how much you’ve already met) by calling your insurance or logging into your insurance portal.
If your claim goes to a deductible you don’t wish to contribute to, we will not charge you for any sessions that have already occurred. We will reach out to you personally to determine payment options for future sessions if you wish to continue working with your dietitian.
An out-of-pocket maximum is the most you will have to pay to receive covered services in a plan year. After you spend this amount (typically on copays, coinsurance, and/or deductibles), your health plan pays 100% of the cost for covered services. You can reach out to your insurance company to determine your out-of-pocket maximum and how much you have already met in a given year.
Nourish does not handle any billing for out-of-network plans. We can offer you a superbill that you can submit to your insurance in hopes of getting reimbursed. It is your responsibility to inquire with your insurance company regarding these benefits and submit superbills (we can provide you with the superbill). The session fee must be paid at the time of service.
If Nourish doesn't accept your insurance, you can still see a dietitian at a self-pay rate of $145 per session. Nourish can also provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
You can also use your FSA/HSA card to pay for sessions with a dietitian!
Nourish requires your insurance to be active at the time of your appointment. If you attend a session without active coverage (or no insurance), you will be charged our self-pay rate of $145.
