What to Expect & Cost

A first visit with Elise Porterfield, RDN typically runs 45–90 minutes and covers your health history, current eating patterns, lab work, and goals. Follow-up sessions are usually 30–45 minutes. As a registered dietitian focus, expect guidance tailored to that area.

Self-pay rates for a registered dietitian nutritionist generally range from $100–$200 for an initial assessment and $60–$120 per follow-up, varying by region and specialty. Many visits are covered by insurance as Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) — especially for diabetes, kidney disease, and other diagnoses — often with little or no out-of-pocket cost.

These are general ranges, not Elise Porterfield, RDN's published prices. Confirm fees and coverage directly with the practice.

Before Your First Appointment

  • Check MNT coverage — call your insurer and ask whether medical nutrition therapy is covered for your diagnosis, and how many visits per year.
  • Ask about a referral — some plans require a physician referral before they'll cover a dietitian visit.
  • Bring recent lab results — bloodwork (A1C, cholesterol, kidney panel) helps the dietitian tailor a plan from day one.
  • Keep a 3-day food log — a short record of what you eat makes the first session far more productive.
  • Confirm the credential — an RD or RDN has completed accredited training and a national exam; "nutritionist" alone is unregulated in some states.
