How to Use Health Benefits to Cover Your Nurish'd Membership

Introduction: Making the Most of Your Health Benefits with Nurish'd

At Nurish’d, we believe that access to quality nutrition advice should be affordable and accessible to everyone. Did you know that you can use your health benefits to help cover the cost of your Nurish’d membership? Many health insurance plans cover consultations with registered dietitians, which means that by choosing the right membership plan, you could get expert nutrition advice without paying out of pocket. In this post, we’ll explain how you can take advantage of your health benefits and break down the different Nurish’d membership tiers so you can choose the one that’s right for you.

What Does Your Health Insurance Cover?

Most health insurance plans provide coverage for medical nutrition therapy (MNT) when it's conducted by a licensed dietitian. At Nurish’d, our dietitians are not only certified but also recognized by many insurance providers, which means that your consultations with them may be fully or partially covered under your health benefits.

Dietitian Consultations Are Covered

The key aspect of the Nurish’d membership that is covered by health benefits is the dietitian consultations. Whether you're looking to improve your eating habits, manage a health condition like diabetes, or simply learn how to fuel your body better, our registered dietitians can provide personalized guidance tailored to your specific needs.

Here’s how it works:

  • Check with your insurance provider: Reach out to your health insurance company to confirm coverage for dietitian consultations. Some insurers cover multiple sessions, while others may limit the number of appointments per year.
  • Submit a claim: After your consultation, we’ll provide you with the necessary documentation to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

By leveraging this coverage, you can lower the overall cost of your Nurish’d membership, making it more affordable to invest in your long-term health.

Understanding the Nurish’d Membership Tiers

Nurish’d offers several membership tiers designed to meet different nutritional needs and goals. Whether you're looking for occasional advice or ongoing support from a dietitian, we have a membership plan that fits your lifestyle. Let’s break down the different Nurish’d membership tiers so you can find the one that works best for you.

1. Nurish’d Health Membership

The Nurish’d Health Membership is perfect for those who want to dip their toes into nutritional guidance without committing to regular consultations. This tier includes:

  • Access to AI powered personalized meal plans
  • A selection of curated ready to eat meals based on your preferences
  • Earn 3% on every ready to eat meal purchase
  • Access to dietitian support for an additional fee (can still be reimbursed by health benefits)

While this plan provides a great starting point, additional dietitian consultations beyond the introductory session may require a small out-of-pocket fee or use of your health benefits.

2. The Nurish’d Health Plus Membership

The Nurish’d Health Plus Membership is designed for those who want more in-depth, regular support from a registered dietitian. This plan includes:

  • 4 dietitian consultations included in membership fee (covered by most health insurance plans)
  • Customized meal plans tailored to your dietary needs
  • Exclusive access to premium recipes and nutrition content
  • Email support from your dietitian for ongoing guidance

With the Health Plus Membership, you’ll receive consistent nutrition coaching that helps you stay on track with your health goals. By using your health benefits to cover the cost of the dietitian consultations, this membership can offer exceptional value.

3. The Nurish’d Health Pro Membership

The Nurish’d Health Pro Membership is the most comprehensive plan available on Nurish’d. It’s perfect for individuals who need ongoing, hands-on support, whether for managing chronic health conditions or pursuing significant lifestyle changes. This plan includes:

  • 12 dietitian consultations (covered by insurance)
  • Fully customized meal plans based on regular check-ins with your dietitian
  • Annual microbiome testing
  • Access to exclusive VIP content, recipes, and tools
  • Regular progress tracking and adjustments to your plan based on your goals

The Health Pro Membership offers the highest level of personalized nutrition support. Since the frequent dietitian consultations are often covered by health insurance, this plan can be very cost-effective for individuals who need continuous guidance.

How to Get Started: Using Your Health Benefits on Nurish’d

1. Confirm Coverage with Your Insurance Provider

Before signing up for a membership, contact your insurance provider to ask about coverage for registered dietitian consultations. Some key questions to ask include:

  • How many dietitian consultations are covered per year?
  • Are there any specific conditions that must be met (e.g., a doctor’s referral)?
  • How does the reimbursement process work?

By confirming this information, you’ll have a clear understanding of how much of your membership costs can be covered.

2. Choose the Right Membership Tier

Select the Nurish’d membership tier that best suits your needs and goals. If you’re looking for ongoing support and want to maximize your insurance coverage, consider the Health Plus or Health Pro Membership options, which include regular dietitian consultations.

3. Schedule Your Dietitian Consultation

Once you’ve selected your membership plan, schedule your first dietitian consultation. Your meal plan will be created at this point and the dietitian will work with you to review your plan to ensure that fits your lifestyle and health goals. After your session, Nurish’d will provide all necessary paperwork for you to submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
