Let's Work Together!
There are just a few steps to be taken before we meet:
1 \ Send me an email
The first step is to send me an email stating in a few sentences why you are seeking help from a dietitian and 1-3 nutrition/health goals you are hoping to reach.
Please indicate if you will be paying privately or with insurance. Please note insurance coverage varies based on plan. However, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), mandated that insurance companies cover preventative services such as nutrition counseling (majority of the time they are are covered in full with little to no patient responsibility and no limits on visits).
Private pay/out of pocket cost for an Initial 90-minute session is $195. The remaining follow-up session will be discounted at 20%.
If you have Independent Health, Bluecross Blueshield/Highmark, UnitedHealthcare, or Univera Healthcare health insurances, please provide a photo of your insurance card (front and back) with date of birth, in your email as part of your nutrition inquiry.
Please send to yenbuffalodietitian@gmail.com
3 \ Accept Patient Portal Invitation via email
Once I have checked your insurance coverage, I will send you an email prompting you to accept an invitation to set-up a client portal account called Healthie. (Can be used on browser or as a phone app).
Healthie is an easy-to-use web and mobile platform that allows you to connect with me and track your care while we work together. All of your information is secure and private, as it is HIPAA-compliant.
Ways to use Healthie
-
Easily complete all of your paperwork, intake forms, and assessments digitally.
-
Schedule or modify appointments, and see any upcoming sessions we have booked.
-
We can connect virtually through Healthie’s secure messenger and video chat.
-
Upload and share documents, like lab reports and other materials.
-
Log pictures of your food (no calorie counting!) and track your workouts, and I can give you feedback in the comments.
-
We can set goals and monitor them to help you stay on track.
4 \ Accept Fullscript Dispensary Invitation via email
Next, I will send you an email invitation to set up an account with Fullscript since supplements will most likely be required as part of your treatment plan.
Fullscript is a virtual dispensary for medical grade supplements from trusted providers.
5 \ Set up appointment
After you sign up for Healthie I will contact you to set up a day and time to meet! Looking forward to meeting and working with you!
