Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use HSA of FSA for my appointment?
Yes, you can use your HSA or FSA to completely pay for your appointments or for any deductible, copay, or co-insurance amount that you might have.
How many sessions are covered by insurance?
The amount of sessions covered is dependent on your insurance plan and policy. Most of our patients do not have any visit limits. We will do a benefits check prior to your appointment to give you a quote of how many are covered.
What is a the difference between a Dietitian and nutritionist?
The difference between a nutritionist and dietitian lies in the schooling, training, and certification requirements. Anyone, even someone with no formal training can call themselves a 'nutritionist' because the term is not regulated. The title Registered Dietitian requires a minimum 4-year degree from an accredited college, a 1,200-hour internship, passing a comprehensive exam, and completing ongoing education.
What forms of payment does The Tasty Balance Dietitian take?
A credit card or a Health Savings Card is accepted and will be processed through a secure site at the time of the appointment.
What is a non-diet approach?
It may seem counterintuitive that a DIETitian is using a non-diet approach but there are two definitions to the word diet. 1. food and drink regularly provided or consumed and 2. restrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food in order to lose weight. It is the second definition that a non-diet approach is referring to. A non-diet approach removes that emphasis and pressure to eat for weight loss. Instead, it embraces the Health At Every Size® paradigm, intuitive eating, and mindfulness.
What can I expect from your services?
You can expect to develop a relationship with a professional you can trust. This is especially important with all the unreliable nutrition information and diet culture noise. If you choose an in-person session or via telehealth, you can expect an initial assessment session- this is a time for me to get to know you and learn about what you are hoping to accomplish. How many sessions you choose to book is dependent on you but to get the most out of these services follow up sessions, a cooking class, or an accountability package is recommended.
