Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at alison@nourish-bodyandmind.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Nourish - Body and Mind is currently a private pay, out-of-network provider, which means we do not accept insurance at this time. We offer SuperPay, a secure, HIPAA-compliant payment option powered by SuperBill, to provide you with a FREE and simple way to get reimbursed by your insurance for out-of-network services. When you pay for your nutrition sessions with SuperPay, SuperBill will automatically file and track your claims with your insurer.  You will also have access to their expert customer support team for assistance with insurance benefits checks and claim denial resolution. To set up this payment method prior to your initial session, you can complete the 2-minute onboarding on the SuperBill website.


If you chose to not utilize SuperPay, we will provide our self-pay rates and can still provide Superbills for possible insurance reimbursement upon request. Out of network benefits MAY apply to nutrition services, however this is not guaranteed. It is recommended that you call your insurance company to determine your specific coverage.  


You might ask - what does this cost? Learn more at : https://www.thesuperbill.com/faq 

There are no additional fees to use SuperPay, and the provider and patient get free access to SuperBill.

There is no cost to the patient when they link a bank account, and their claims are filed automatically, for free. If the patient chooses to link a credit or debit card instead of their bank account, they are charged 2.9% of their bill to cover the cost of SuperBill's out-of-network insurance billing services. 


Nourish - Body and Mind is an entirely virtual private practice. This means that we can see clients anywhere in the states of Florida AND Georgia (where we are actively licensed), as well as some other states (this is dependent on licensure laws for Registered Dietitians).  This allows us to see you from the comfort of your space - and offers more flexibility for timing, meal support sessions and more! 


Sessions are 50 minutes in length, but can be adjusted if necessary. We can meet as frequently as twice a week, or as infrequently as once a month. Most clients start off with once a week sessions, and then switch to every other week sessions once they feel ready! 


No.  All nutrition counseling is provided through a weight neutral, HAES-aligned approach. Period. All bodies are welcome. All bodies are good bodies. Nourish - Body and Mind does NOT offer weight - loss services or guidance. When weight loss is recommended to address a medical condition, much of a person's health "picture" is disregarded (Ask your doctor: "What recommendations would be made to someone in a smaller body with the same health condition?"). 


Instead, we look at your health through a multi-faceted lens to evaluate and support your physical, emotional and  mental health. This includes examining traditional medical "values" like laboratory work, blood pressure, heart rate as well as non-traditional markers like sleep quality and energy levels, mobility and flexibility, frequency of binge / restrict /purge episodes and much more. 


Diets  do not and have not ever worked - for you, or anyone else. Dieting (which is considered behaviorally as disordered eating), intentional weight loss and weight cycling are actually linked with a higher prevalence of eating disorders, cardiovascular and renal disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic inflammation, certain types of cancer and even death.

Nourish - Body and Mind utilizes Simple Practice - a HIPAA compliant electronic medical record software system that allows us to schedule, bill, document and communicate with clients all in one place. All onboarding paperwork (including but not limited to: practice policies, good faith estimate, notice of privacy practices, consent for Telehealth consultation, informed consent for nutrition services, release of information, confidential credit card form and more!) MUST be completed 48 hours prior to session, otherwise the session will be cancelled.


I wish there was a perfect answer to this one... Learning how to re-connect with your body and unlearn diet culture is HARD. And it is SO worth it. In order to eat intuitively, you have to unlearn (and be willing to challenge) diet mentality and create new habits rooted in self compassion and honoring your body's needs. There is no set timeline to this - but take refuge in the knowledge that you are no longer alone on this journey. I am here for you - every step of the way!


Nourish - Body and Mind is committed to providing nutrition therapy to those who cannot access care readily through insurance or private pay rates for various reasons. If you feel like nutrition counseling with Nourish-Body and Mind  would be a good fit for you but finances are an issue, we do offer a limited number of sliding scale and pro-bono spots.  


More specifically, Nourish - Body and Mind works with Project Heal as a "partner in healing" within their HEALers Circle. Learn more about Project Heal: https://www.theprojectheal.org/our-mission

To inquire about sliding scale spots and eligibility, please email alison@nourish-bodyandmind.com with the subject line 'Sliding Scale?"


Our therapeutic relationship is important to me - and when an appointment is made, that time slot is yours entirely. It is important that both parties (you and me!) accept responsibility for honoring appointments. 


As outlined in my practice policies, please remember to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance. You will be responsible for the entire fee if cancellation is less than 24 hours. Cancellations and re-scheduled sessions will be subject to the full session fee if not received at least 24 hours in advance of your session. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are more than 15 minutes late for a session, the session will be cancelled and you will be charged the full amount of that session. 


Good Faith Estimate

As of January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to provide estimates for the costs of your care. The Good Faith Estimate shows the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected for your healthcare needs and treatment. This will be provided by this office upon scheduling and/or as requested. This Good Faith Estimate does not include unexpected costs that could arise during treatment.
