Connect with your dietitian from the comfort of your home or workplace by simply clicking on an emailed link. There are no apps to download. Appointments can take place via private virtual telehealth sessions (available to residents of Maryland and Virginia). Medicare clients may also be seen in-person at our office in Pikesville, MD.
Sessions are facilitated by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists Jodi Serafin or Shannon Svikhart.
Insurance
We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, CareFirst, Cigna, and Medicare. Clients must verify their coverage prior to their visit.
We offer discounted self-pay packages for clients who aren’t using insurance or for clients whose insurance doesn’t cover the visit. See our FAQs for more details on insurance and payment.
What to expect during your first visit
During the first session, your dietitian will talk with you to gain a comprehensive understanding of overall health, eating habits, and daily routines. Based on this assessment, your dietitian will provide feedback and education regarding the types of diet changes that will be most beneficial for you.
Together, you’ll begin the work of reimagining eating habits and crafting a plan that will help you conquer your goals. This plan acts as a roadmap that includes a simple meal plan with broad goals, specific strategies, and practical ways to implement the changes discussed.
Follow-up sessions are scheduled at the end of each visit and continue at regular intervals. For ongoing help with meal planning and accountability we offer our Meal Plan Program to foster success. This is an optional add-on that delivers personalized, customized meal plans that you can access through our app on any device. It’s like having a dietitian in your back pocket!
