Looking for a direct billing dietitian in Calgary?
Andrea Kroeker is a registered dietitian offering nutrition counselling with direct billing to many Alberta insurance providers. Direct billing can make accessing care easier by reducing upfront costs and simplifying the insurance process.

What Is Direct Billing for Nutrition Counselling?
Direct billing means that eligible nutrition counselling fees may be submitted directly to your insurance provider at the time of your appointment. Instead of paying the full cost upfront and submitting receipts yourself, the insured portion of your appointment may be billed directly, depending on your individual plan.
Insurance coverage and reimbursement vary by provider and policy. Clients are encouraged to confirm coverage details with their insurance company prior to booking.

If you have more than one insurance plan, your appointment may be submitted to your primary provider only. Any remaining balance is the responsibility of the client. A detailed receipt will be provided so that claims may be submitted manually to a secondary insurance provider if applicable.
Clients are responsible for confirming eligibility, coverage limits, and reimbursement requirements with their insurance provider prior to booking.
