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.

Does Anthem BCBS Cover Dietitian Visits?

- 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.
