INVEST IN YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE
Behavior change takes time.
It takes time to learn new health habits!
Let our dietitians come along side you and keep you on track to get to your best life.
Even if you got “all of your questions answered” in a single session (not likely), you need the support, accountability, and further education to help you develop new habits, and see you through difficult scenarios (even nutrition majors can benefit from seeing a dietitian!).
First Steps:
1. Complete a contact form, or call/text (805) 225-3027 and let us know a little about yourself and what you are looking at nutrition counseling for.
2. We will get back to you, and we can determine together if you are a good fit to work with one of our dietitians.
3. We will send you pre-session forms to fill-out online through a secure client portal (we use a platform called “Healthie”).
4. Schedule a time to meet with your dietitian.
…welcome!

Do You Accept CenCal Insurance?
Yes! You can see Libby with a referral from your assigned primary care physician.
Ask your physician to submit a “RAF” (Referral Authorization Form), and their diagnosis to CenCalHealth for your nutrition needs before our first visit, please.
Let your dietitian know if you want us to bill insurance BEFORE your session.
From the CenCal website (7/18): ”Covered Services: Nutrition Educators providing medical nutrition therapy (MNT) services are reimbursable by CenCal Health when conducted by a Registered Dietitian (RD) working as or with a contracted provider. Under the CenCal Health Nutrition benefit, members are entitled to an initial assessment not to exceed 4 hours per year; a re-assessment and intervention not to exceed 4 hours per 1 month; and group sessions not to exceed 8 hours per a 9 month period. Additional services beyond the benefit limitations require prior authorization.”
(basically, you can see Libby for 2 sessions/month). We are working on getting out other RDs in-network.
Do You Accept Any Other Insurance?
We are in-network with some Commercial forms of United Health Care insurance. Please check your insurance coverage >>>
We are not currently in-network with other insurance.
We can write up a super-bill for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement after you have paid out of pocket – we make no promises, but we will do our best to get you reimbursed, and have had past success.
You will need a physician referral (sent to your insurance company, and us) stating that you need to see a Registered Dietitian.
