Those interested in identifying food sensitivities should plan on two to three sessions, while those interested in weight loss will likely need ongoing sessions to address individual barriers. The Wired For Joy classes last four weeks and the Solution for Weight is eight weeks long. The Shapedown program is eight weeks long.

Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I accept Aetna, Rocky Mountain Health Plans, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Colorado, American Specialty Health, Humana, United Health Care, Premera Blue Cross, Great-West Healthcare, Health Allies, Reserve National and Medical Resource.

Please be aware that many issues are not covered (for example weight loss), while other related conditions might be (i.e. diabetes, high cholesterol, IBS) so it is important that you ask what conditions are covered under your plan.
Another important question to ask: If and how many sessions with RD’s are allowed in a calendar year, the percentage of visit covered, whether your deductible has been meet, and whether a referral from a physician is needed.
Please also note that any session fees rejected by the insurance company or deductibles not yet meet will be the responsibility of the client.
