All courses are single-course offerings, unless noted with an asterisk (*) next to the course title.
Our insurance billing guidelines allow patients to only sign up for one class per day, but they are allowed to sign up for as many classes as they wish to in a week, month or year, as well as for multi-session classes. Patients may retake a single or multi session class as many times as needed.
Class Cost: A nutrition visit with a registered dietitian is a covered service for ~95% of patients. For the ~5% of patients whose insurance may not cover the charge, the out of pocket cost will be $14-$22. If a bill is received, it is most likely an error or due to a deductible issue. In this case, the patient should contact us to be referred to the Nutrition Supervisor, who will review the issue.
