FAQS
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DOES PALOUSE NUTRITION ACCEPT FOR NUTRITION COUNSELING?
Full payment is due at time of service. Payment can be made by Venmo or PayPal and with a Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REGISTERED DIETITIAN NUTRITIONIST (RDN) AND A NUTRITIONIST?
As a registered dietitian nutritionist, I have completed under-graduate and graduate education and training established by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. While any person may call themselves a nutritionist, all RDNs must:
Get a four-year degree which includes a specially designed, accredited nutrition curriculum.
Complete a 1200-hour extensive supervised program of practice at a health care facility, foodservice organization or community agency.
Pass a national registration exam.
Maintain continuing education credits for re-certification.
Obtain licensure annually with Idaho Board of Medicine and certification with Washington State.
WILL MY HEALTH INSURANCE COVER DIETITIAN SERVICES?
Possibly. On request, I can provide a Super Bill that you can submit to your insurance provider. This may provide health plan payment, depending on your insurance coverage. I do not directly bill insurance, but you may pay with a Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account.
