Insurance Coverage for Bariatric Dietitian Support

Navigating insurance after bariatric surgery can feel confusing.

I’m Haley Lemieux, RD, a virtual bariatric dietitian, and I want to make it simple for you to get the nutrition support you need.

Many insurance plans cover 1:1 dietitian sessions for bariatric nutrition counseling, while additional services like text support and food log reviews are available as out of pocket add ons.
