Initial Assessment & Consultation - In person or by telephone

Initial assessment and consultation can be in person or over the phone and takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes. During this time we will gather information about where you are now and where you want to go. We will create a personal blueprint specifically created for your healthier behaviors. We will also work together to determine the frequency of follow-up sessions and which modality would be best to use for your individual needs.  To download our assesment form click here.

Follow-up Consultations – In person, by telephone, or by email

Follow-up consultations can be in person, over the phone and via email. The time and frequency of follow-up sessions depends upon your needs and the plan we have developed for you. During this time we will focus on your goals and the plan we developed and reevaluate your progress. 

Email Consultations/Questions

Consultations and questions using email is an option too. We can develop this into your program as needed. Additionally, email can be used as a method to ask questions or advise. The average length of time spent on email questions is about 15-20 minutes. 

Insurance

The Dietitians at Bay Area Nutrition are providers for a number of insurance companies, including the Santa Clara County Individual Practice Association (SCCIPA), Aetna and Medicare. If you need medical nutrition therapy to manage diabetes, high cholesterol or blood pressure, food allergies, eating disorders or gastro-intestinal disorders (IBS, Chrons, Celiac disease) your medical insurance may reimburse you. It is best to get a referral from your medical doctor and to contact your insurance company to make sure that medical nutrition therapy is a covered benefit. We recommend you get any authorization in writing from your insurance company, otherwise you may be held responsible for the charges.
