We are often asked if Good Nutrition takes insurance. Unfortunately, while we do not take insurance, we do accept HSA/FSA cards (with a letter of medical necessity from your doctor), and we can also provide you with a superbill after each session. A superbill is a standardized receipt outlining the nutrition services provided by Good Nutrition that you may submit to your insurance provider to request reimbursement.

If you’re exploring ways to make the most of your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), we’ve got great news: you can use these accounts to cover the cost of nutrition counseling with our expert dietitians. Here’s a friendly, step-by-step guide on how to use your HSA/FSA card for nutrition counseling at Good Nutrition.

What are HSA and FSA?

Before we dive into the process, let’s quickly clarify what HSA and FSA accounts are:

• Health Savings Account (HSA): An HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account that you can use to pay for qualified medical expenses. Contributions are tax-deductible, and withdrawals for eligible expenses are tax-free.
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA): An FSA is a pre-tax benefit account that allows you to use funds for qualified medical expenses. The main difference from an HSA is that FSAs are often set up by employers and may have a “use-it-or-lose-it” policy, so plan your spending accordingly.

Both accounts can be used to cover a variety of health-related expenses, including nutrition counseling.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Your HSA/FSA Card with Good Nutrition

1. Verify Your Eligibility
   • Ensure that nutrition counseling is a qualified expense under your HSA or FSA plan. Generally, counseling by a licensed dietitian or nutritionist is covered, but it’s always a good idea to check with your plan provider for specifics.
2. Obtain a Letter of Medical Necessity from a Healthcare Provider
   • A Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) is a document written by a healthcare provider that outlines the medical need for a specific treatment or service. For nutrition counseling, it provides a detailed explanation of why the service is essential for your health and how it will contribute to your treatment plan. It includes specific details including:
     • Relevant diagnosis or medical condition(s)
     • How nutrition counseling will address your condition
     • The expected duration and frequency of the counseling needed
     • The credentials of the dietitian or nutritionist providing the counseling

4. Pay with your HSA/FSA Card
   • You can use your HSA/FSA card directly through our booking and payment portal (Practice Better) the same way you would enter typical credit card information. Our Practice Better portal is designed to seamlessly integrate with HSA/FSA payment methods. The portal will process the payment directly through your account, making it easy and efficient.
5. Keep Your Receipts
   • After payment, you’ll receive a copy of your invoice (and we can also provide superbills). Keep this documentation for your records and to provide to your HSA/FSA administrator with your Letter of Medical Necessity, if needed for reimbursement or verification.
