    Jordan includes nutrition counseling, metabolic testing, ordering necessary labs relating to nutrition, and provides a detailed printout of your body composition at each visit (if desired).

  • What does a session look like?

    For the initial assessment, I will dive deep into your medical history, goals, typical diet, current medications, sleep habits, and other factors that impact your diet and lifestyle. The session will be guided based on these answers. Follow-up sessions will be dependent on goals we set during the initial assessment. I often times track information such as weight, body composition, blood pressure, food diaries, etc., but it is very dependent on each person and their goals. 

  • How much does it cost?

    Cost varies patient to patient depending on insurance coverage and their diagnosis. We offer out-of-pocket rates as well, but it is dependent on each person's coverage and financial situation.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    I am an in-network provider with many major commercial and state insurances, including BCBS, United HealthCare, Humana, Cigna, Medicare, and Tricare.

  • Do I need a referral?

    If you have Medicare part B or Tricare then a referral is needed. Commercial plans generally don't need a referral, but you can always double check.


  • What are the CPT codes for nutrition counseling?

    97802 and 97803

  • Do you offer telehealth services?

    Yes! Currently I can use any form of video or audio form to counsel patients on nutrition, but I have a HIPPA compliant telehealth service I use through my electronic health system.

  • How long are sessions typically?

    On average, an initial session is usually about 45 to 60 minutes. Follow up sessions are usually about 30 to 60 minutes.
