These are general ranges, not Lauren Hyden, CNS'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.
