The “RDN” credential is a legally protected title that can only be used by practitioners who are authorized by the Commission on Dietetic Registration of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Some RDNs may call themselves “nutritionists,” but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians. The definition and requirements for the term “nutritionist” vary. Some states have license laws that define the range of practice for someone using the designation “nutritionist,” but in other states, virtually anyone can call him or herself a “nutritionist” regardless of education or training. Individuals with the RDN credential have fulfilled specific requirements, including having earned at least a bachelor’s degree (about half of RDNs hold advanced degrees), completed a supervised practice program and passed a registration examination and in addition to maintaining continuing education requirements for recertification.
If you plan to use insurance, I recommend that you check with your insurance to see if “dietary counseling” is covered under your plan. It may also be called “medical nutrition therapy.” You can have them look up procedure codes 97802 and 97803 to see if those are covered under your plan. Quite often these will be included in your “Wellness Benefits” or “Preventative Benefits.” If your insurance covers procedure codes 97802 and 97803 then you must also have them check to make sure that the diagnosis code that I will be using will be covered: Z71.3 (Dietary counseling and surveillance). This is the ONLY code that I can use without having a referral from a doctor. If it is not covered then you need to call your doctor for a referral.
Absolutely! I provide digital conferences through telephone and video (Telehealth). For example, some of the telecommunication applications are Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft teams.
I suggest you book a complimentary call. During the call we will discuss what your goals, issues/concerns, types of services that interest you in order to determine what services will best fit your needs and level of support.
