ALL Nutrition Services in California require a doctor's referral

Please use the Doctors Referral Form to obtain required information from your medical provider

I am happy to contact your insurance company, upon receipt of required information

​

Coverage and benefits may vary based on your diagnosis and specific plan. We ask that you contact your insurance company to check your benefits. There are often costs associated with using insurance (co-pays, coinsurance, limited visits) and you, the client, will be responsible for those fees. Regardless of coverage, we require a credit card to be kept on file. Use the instructions below to check your benefits.

Instructions for In-Network Benefits:

Office information you might need:

Heidi McMahan MPH RDN

HKM Nutrition

5755 Valentine Road, Suite 201, Ventura, CA 93003

NPI: 1154963940

​

1. Call the phone number for customer service, which is usually located on the back of your insurance card. If your employer provides your plan, your HR department may be able to call on your behalf.

2. You’ll want to speak to the benefits department. Ask if Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is a covered in-network benefit based for your plan. The procedure codes we use for MNT are: 97802 (initial assessment), 97803 (follow-up). 

3. Be sure to confirm I am an in-network provider.  You can provide my NPI number to verify: 1154963940

4. Ask them if coverage is dependent on your diagnosis. Provide them with your nutrition-related diagnosis. You may want to ask if there are any benefits for “preventative Z codes” such as Z71.3. If so, ask which Z codes and what the requirements are.

5. If there is an MNT benefit, ask if there are any restrictions. For example, a limit of visits, having to use a certain practitioner, etc… Ask if your benefits are subject to your copay, deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket max, etc.

6. If your insurance company says that MNT is a benefit, document the following

   1.  the date and time of call

   2. every detail of information from the call

   3. a reference number

   4. who you spoke with.

   5. ask them to send you the information in writing.

I can offer you a superbill that you can submit to your insurance in hopes of getting reimbursed. It is your responsibility to inquire with your insurance company regarding benefits and submit superbills (we can provide you with instructions when you schedule). The session fee must be paid to HKM Nutrition at the time of service.
