Guidelines, Missed Appointment Policy and Authorization
Your overall health is important to me and I look forward to assisting you with your wellness goals.
Guidelines, Payment and Insurance
FREQUENCY & LENGTH OF SESSIONS
Your initial nutrition consultation will be 60-90 minutes. Frequency and time of follow-up consultations vary and will be determined according to your needs. Follow-up sessions are generally 60 minutes or 30 minutes every 1-2 weeks.
Payment
PAYMENT IS DUE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. You are responsible for payment of our scheduled
appointment, regardless of whether you arrive late or leave early.
Insurance
As a registered dietitian Nutritionist in private practice, I’ve opted out of accepting insurance and Medicare in order to provide more personalized, flexible, and comprehensive care. Insurance limitations often restrict the time and scope of services I can offer. By working independently, I’m able to dedicate more time to each client, create truly customized nutrition plans, and support your health goals without being constrained by coverage rules or billing codes.
Missed Appointment Policy
I am happy to reschedule your appointments, please call and leave a voice or text message at 310.251.3886. I do not double-book my nutrition consultations; therefore your scheduled time is dedicated specifically for you. There is a 24-hour cancellation policy for Zoom or telephone appointments. Appointments cancelled less than 24 hours in advance of the appointment time will result in a full charge.
Authorization for Correspondence, Disclosure and Use of Medical Information
I authorize my dietitian, STACEY WHITTLE, RDN to receive and/or release confidential information and records, pertinent to my nutritional health, to and from my healthcare practitioners. Under normal circumstances this would include lab work and correspondence/dialogue related to my nutrition care plan.
