Does Anthem BCBS Cover Nutrition Counseling in New York?
Introduction
- Many people don’t realize their insurance may fully cover visits with a registered dietitian.
- Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) is one of the plans that often includes this benefit.
- At Sweet Nutrition NYC, we help clients confirm their coverage and make the most of their benefits.
Does Anthem BCBS Cover Dietitian Visits?
- In most cases, yes — Anthem BCBS covers preventive nutrition counseling at no cost to you (no copay, no deductible).
- Preventive care = visits focused on things like:
- Weight management
- Healthy eating
- Preventing chronic disease (diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc.)
- Coverage may vary by plan, so it’s important to verify benefits.
How Many Visits Are Covered?
- Many Anthem BCBS plans cover unlimited nutrition visits per year if they are considered preventive.
- Some plans may limit the number (e.g., 6 or 12 per year).
- Always confirm directly with your insurance provider.
How to Verify Your Anthem BCBS Nutrition Coverage

- Is this considered preventive care?

- Do I need a referral from my doctor?
