Is Kathleen Busa, RDN a Good Nutritionist?

Kathleen Busa, RDN has a trust score of 71/100 — a solid, above-average rating for nutritionists in Bedford. With 9 years of practice (below the area average of 12), they are relatively early in their career but past the initial years.

The most important verification step for any nutritionist is confirming an active, unrestricted license with the state board — use the panel on this page to check Busa's current standing and any public disciplinary actions directly at the source.

What to Expect & Cost

A first visit with Kathleen Busa, 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 Kathleen Busa, 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.
