Insurance

Stay healthy – use your health insurance benefits!

Did you know that your health insurance may pay for you to see a nutritionist who is also a registered dietitian (RD)?

You may have 4 visits per year or unlimited visits up to your maximum medical nutrition therapy or prevention and wellness benefit limit. A referral from your doctor may be needed, however, most health insurance plans do not require a referral when you see a provider who is “In-Network”.

Beve Kindblade is currently accepting the following health insurance plans (* indicates Beve is a Preferred, In-Network provider with these insurance plans):

• Aetna*
• Blue Cross of Washington* and Blue Cross/Blue Shield
• Cigna*
• First Choice Health Network*
• Group Health – Options, Alliant Plus, Options PPO, Options Select and Alliant Select – allowed to see First Choice Health Network providers – special conditions or referrals may apply.
• LifeWise*
• Premera*
• Regence*
• United Healthcare
• Uniform Medical – starting Jan 1, 2011, Uniform Medical will allow their members to see Regence providers for some conditions. Call Uniform Medical for more information.

If your plan is not listed here, please call Beve at 206-920-7676 to check on your nutrition health insurance benefits. You may be able to see Beve as an “Out-of-Network” provider and your insurance will pay a certain amount of the costs. Beve also offers discounted cash rates for those with Medicare, patients without insurance coverage or patients preferring not to use their insurance for nutrition visits.

Medicare

Beve is not a Medicare provider. She is a “non-participating” provider with Medicare = Medicare will not accept claims for payment from non-participating providers. Medicare clients are offered a discounted cash rate and receive a detailed receipt created at the time of payment with each nutrition visit. The receipts can be submitted to Medicare and any seconday insurance providers for reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on the diagnoses being treated and are subject to approval by Medicare and secondary insurance companies.
