We serve clients in Maryland and Virginia. We currently accept Medicare and commercials plans from Aetna, Cigna, CareFirst BC/BS and Carefirst BlueChoice.

If we do not participate with your insurance company, Chesapeake Nutrition Company can provide a detailed superbill to you for possible partial or full reimbursement.

If you do not have insurance you will pay out of pocket, payment is expected at the time of service. We offer discounted self-pay rates, found under “Packages” on our booking page.

Contact the toll-free number on the back of your insurance card. Let them know you want to see Jodi Serafin or Shannon Svikhart of Chesapeake Nutrition Company for nutrition counseling.

If you are asked about CPT codes, refer to this list:

CPT code for first session is 97802

You may be asked about diagnosis codes, which will be finalized during our visit. All visits will use the Z71.3 code for dietary counseling. Other codes will be applied as appropriate. For example - overweight, obesity, prediabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 1 or 2 diabetes, among others.

We need a referral from your doctor’s office regarding your diagnoses. Insurance information will be gathered when you complete your intake form prior to your appointment.
