Measuring Metabolism
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
We are now utilizing the Medgem to measure resting metabolic rate (RMR). This helps us determine the number of calories patients require and is indicated for weight management and eating disorders, among other conditions. When we know your RMR, our dietitians can determine the number of calories for your daily meal plans. In addition, most insurance plans cover RMR testing. Please email us if you would like more information.

Insurance covers medical nutrition therapy
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
When provided by a Registered Dietitian (RD), most insurance plans cover medical nutrition therapy, nutrition education, and nutrition counseling. When calling your plan, ask if you have an RD in your network. You can also search the provider directory online. If you discover your plan doesn’t cover nutrition services, ask if your plan will make an exception. Sometimes they do, especially with a physician referral.
