Insurance Coverage for Holistic Nutrition Counselling

New clients often ask me whether my services will be covered under their health benefits plan, and the answer is always the same – it depends.

If your health benefit policy includes “nutritional counselling” or “nutritional counsellor” then you will likely have access to either full or partial insurance coverage for nutrition services in Canada, but it is very much dependent on the particular policy that either you or your employer have purchased. I always recommend reaching out to your insurance provider to gain a better understanding of what is or is not covered under your health benefits package.

Most health benefits packages will cover the costs of dieticians, but not all will cover holistic nutritionists.
