Payments & Coverage
Let's talk payments!
As you may know, insurance can play a significant role in healthcare coverage. Like other medical services, medical nutrition therapy is a service that may be covered by your insurance. Therefore, it is crucial to stay aware of the ins-and-outs of your insurance policy, including coverage limitations, copays, deductibles, and in-network providers. Additionally, insurance plans can vary widely, and some may require a referral or prior authorization for dietitian services.
By familiarizing yourself with the intricacies of your insurance coverage, you can navigate the complexities more effectively and ensure you receive the appropriate support and reimbursement for your dietary needs.
Rates/Fees:
Initial and Follow-Up Visits: $130/hour
Sessions are approximately 75 minutes.
Prices/Fees are subject to change.
BCBS, UHC, + AETNA Insurance:
Renew Nutrition Therapy is in network with BCBS NC, UHC and Aetna. If you have any BCBS, UHC, or Aetna insurance, we will file insurance claims on your behalf. (We are NOT in network with the following BCBSNC health plans: Blue Local and Blue Value).
If you plan on using one of the above insurance policies to cover a portion (or fingers crossed...all) of your nutrition therapy sessions, you will need to understand your coverage, including your copays, co-insurance and/or deductible. We strongly recommend that you contact your insurance company prior to your first visit, to discuss nutrition coverage. After all, as a client of Renew, you agree to assume full responsibility for any/all owed payment.
Unsure of what to ask? We've made this resource for you!
Self Pay/Out of Network:
We are out-of-network with other insurance companies. We can provide you with a “super bill,” which can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. You can call your insurance company to inquire about your out-of-network benefits. If we are out-of-network with your insurance company, you will need to pay for your sessions at the time of service. If you choose to submit the super bill to your insurance company, the reimbursement will be paid directly to you.
As of January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to provide estimates for the costs of your care if we are not filing directly with your insurance company. A Good Faith Estimate will be provided by your clinician upon scheduling and/or as requested. While it is difficult to predict the number of sessions you will ultimately need to reach your treatment goals, we strive to be as transparent as possible about the cost of treatment during this process.

Sarah Edwards Duong is THE BEST nutritionist (and I tried several before her). Until I found her, my life was escalating into pure misery as the GI issues were effecting my social life and being able to work. Sarah listens to you when you speak and we discover together what is the problem and how to solve it. I recommend her without any reservation.

I have loved working with Sarah! I have multiple food allergies and sensitivities, GI issues, and autoimmune issues. To say that I have a complicated relationship with food is an understatement. I have spent most of my life dealing with a number of GI issues but since seeing Sarah, this is the best I have felt in a long time. She is so considerate and nonjudgemental, and makes discussing GI issues easy! She also really takes her patients needs as a priority. She always has suggestions for things that I can eat, or, if she sees something at the grocery that she knows I can eat, she makes sure to tell me about it. If you are looking to improve you and your body's relationship with food then give Sarah a call!

Love Sarah! She’s a great listener, cheerleader, and educator. She knows her stuff and is super passionate about helping others learn about their bodies, eating patterns and how the food we eat affects us- for better or worse. She will use a variety of resources and tools to help you be empowered to be a healthier you.

Sarah is one of the most non judgmental dieticians I've ever met. She's sympathetic yet encouraging without being made felt bad about ourselves. I've learned more with her program than anything our insurance has to offer. Thank you Sarah for your dedication and support!

Sarah conducted two great Zoom workshop series with our staff at Wayne County Public Schools this spring. Staff members enjoyed both the 10-week course "The Art of Healthy Living" and the 5-week course "Food for Thought." She was easy to work with and provided lots of support for our staff through our SHAC Staff Wellness Initiative!

Sarah is not only extremely knowledgeable, she is also friendly and approachable. She explains difficult concepts in an understandable way, is happy to answer all questions, and is passionate about helping those of us who want to take charge of our health. I would give her TEN stars if I could.

Sarah is incredible, five stars really doesn't cut it. When I first started working with her I expected to be told what and when to eat. I never anticipated our work together to be as meaningful or life changing as it has been. Sarah has taught me so much more than nutrition. While working together I have learned to make space for myself and how to both appreciate and listen to my body. The level of personalized support and care that she provides is unmatched. I am so unbelievably thankful for Sarah and Renew Nutrition Therapy!

In one word I can say (grateful!!) This was the best time I have had on line in a while. I did not know what to expect. The class was excellent. The instructor is a people person, she is kind and very knowledgeably. It was so good; that's why I will be doing one on one this summer. I looked forward to the group time and especially the one on one. I hope that she continues to do this at the school, she is great( Mrs. Sarah). She Rocks!!.

Just finished the "Your Moment" Part 3 series through New Hanover County Schools. Part 3 was just as informative and amazing as Part 1 and 2. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable in nutrition and gives great information in a relatable way. If you haven't experienced Renew Nutrition Therapy, it is definitely a must!Thanks Sarah!
