Ask the representative if the following diagnostic codes, also known as an ICD 10 code is covered:
Z71.3 for medical nutrition therapy/ nutrition counseling.
We always try to code your visit using this preventative coding to maximize the number of cists you receive from your insurance carrier.

If Z71.3 is not covered, then ask what diagnostic codes are covered under your plan (cardiovascular, diabetes, overweight, obesity, high blood pressure etc).
If you have one of these diagnoses, we will need a direct referral from your doctor with the applicable ICD 10 code for that diagnosis.
