Services
Abigail takes an evidence-based and practical approach to nutrition, borrowing from Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating (IE) methodologies with a focus on nourishment as a form of self-care.
Abigail offers nutrition counseling via telehealth for individuals age 18+ seeking help for:
Eating disorders and disordered eating;
Weight preoccupation with history of chronic dieting; and/or
Weight-inclusive care for health conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and prediabetes.
Initial sessions run approximately 60 minutes and follow-up sessions are 45-50 minutes.
Insurance
In addition to accepting private pay, Abigail is contracted with the following insurance carriers:
Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA
Harvard Pilgrim
Mass General Brigham
Please keep in mind that insurance carriers may have a different nutrition coverage policy for each plan they offer. All new clients are strongly encouraged to call the Member Services phone number on the back of their insurance card to verify coverage for nutrition sessions by telehealth.
Please find out the following prior to your initial session:
Is a referral from my primary care physician (PCP) required?
Is there a maximum number of covered sessions/year? If so, how many?
Do I have a deductible to meet before insurance covers? If so, how much have I met so far?
What is my co-payment per session?
Though understanding health insurance can be intimidating, try not to let these questions overwhelm you! Typically, one call to your insurance company is all it takes to answer them.
