Choose Your Path
Getting started
Do you accept both insurance and cash pay clients?
Yes. Rese Carter Lifestyles offers two ways to receive nutrition care. Insurance clients begin with secure benefit verification. Cash pay clients can enroll directly in the Signature Metabolic Nutrition Program without using insurance.
What is the Signature Metabolic Nutrition Program?
It is Rese’s complete twelve week cash pay nutrition program for clients who want structured, personalized support. The program includes six private sessions, a comprehensive assessment, review of available labs and health history, a personalized nutrition roadmap, a customized fourteen day meal plan, two meal plan adjustments, portal support, supplement guidance when appropriate, and a written maintenance plan.
Are appointments virtual?
Yes. Nutrition appointments are held virtually through Practice Better, a secure healthcare platform.
Where is virtual nutrition care available?
Virtual care is available in eligible states. Your location and eligibility are confirmed before scheduling.
What happens after I submit my insurance information?
Your eligibility and nutrition benefits are reviewed. You will receive the verification outcome and scheduling instructions if care can proceed through insurance.
Insurance and payment
Which insurance plans do you accept?
Rese Carter Lifestyles participates with Aetna, Cigna, WebTPA, Curative, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Exact coverage depends on your specific plan and must be verified.
Could my nutrition visits be $0 out of pocket?
Yes. Eligible preventive nutrition counseling is often covered with no copay or deductible. This is common, but not guaranteed. Your exact benefits, network status, visit limits, and diagnosis requirements are verified before scheduling.
Does accepting my insurer mean my visits are covered?
Not automatically. Network status, nutrition benefits, diagnoses, referrals, visit limits, deductibles, copays, and coinsurance can vary. Verification is not a guarantee of payment because the insurer makes the final claim decision.
What if my plan does not cover nutrition care?
You can still work with Rese as a cash pay client through the Signature Metabolic Nutrition Program. Insurance is not required to enroll.
What does the Signature Metabolic Nutrition Program cost?
Cash pay care is offered through the complete Signature Metabolic Nutrition Program. The investment is $2,000 when paid in full or three monthly payments of $800, totaling $2,400.
Nutrition care
Do you offer single cash pay appointments?
No. Cash pay care is offered through the complete six session Signature Metabolic Nutrition Program so there is enough time to assess, implement, and refine your nutrition strategy.
Do you offer specialized or functional testing?
Yes, when clinically appropriate. GI MAP and micronutrient testing may be considered when your symptoms and clinical picture suggest that the results could meaningfully guide care. Testing is not automatically required, and laboratory or functional testing fees are separate from the program investment. Any recommended testing and cost are discussed with you first.
Can you coordinate with my physician?
Yes. With your permission, Rese can coordinate with members of your healthcare team when appropriate.
Do you work with clients using GLP 1 medications?
Yes. Nutrition support can address protein intake, hydration, digestive tolerance, nutrient adequacy, meal structure, lean mass support, and weight management while you use medication prescribed by your medical provider.
Will I receive supplement recommendations?
Supplement guidance may be included when it is appropriate for your needs, health history, medications, and available laboratory information. Supplements are not automatically recommended to every client.
