How Health Loft works
Match with a dietitian
When choosing the right nutritionist or dietitian, credentials aren't the only factor to consider. Your chosen health expert will play a key role in your pursuit of wellness, so it's important to find someone who truly understands your personal journey. Let Health Loft simplify this process by connecting you to Aetna nutritionists who align with your health aspirations and can make a meaningful impact on your well-being.
Comprehensive nutritional assessment
Expect our dietitians to dedicate your first session to getting to know you. Since the goal is to gain a holistic view of your nutritional needs, they will gather as much information as possible about your current eating habits, lifestyle, and specific health concerns. Based on their findings, they will create a personalized nutrition plan tailored to support you in achieving your desired outcomes.
Ongoing support & monitoring
Nutrition is a journey that should not be rushed, but rest assured that we're with you every step of the way. Our health experts help you stay on course through regular check-ins, recommendations, and progress monitoring. Adjustments can also be made to your nutrition plan as your health goals and needs change.

- I worked with Adrienne DePaul throughout my pregnancy which proved to be incredibly valuable. Throughout each stage of pregnancy and even in preparation for breast feeding, Adrienne has been a trusted, non-judgmental resource that I have been able to rely on for honest advice and realistic solutioning. So grateful to have been connected with her!
Anna with Health Loft has been amazing! I learn something new from her each week, and each week is a step closer to working through my health issues and getting better. I highly recommend Anna! She is a wealth of knowledge!!!
I used to go through my days constantly feeling sick from my various food sensitivities, but after working with Sofia, I’ve been able to learn ways to eat and enjoy my life! Please request to talk to her if interested in this type of service!
I have been seeing Abby D. for about 3 months now and chatting with her is consistently the highlight of my week. She is so insightful and has guided me to learn so much about myself through my relationship with food.
Are nutritionist services covered by Aetna insurance?
Aetna provides nutritionist coverage as part of preventive care for children and adults who are overweight, obese, and have other cardiovascular disease risk factors. Aetna also considers nutritional counseling medically necessary for managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, eating disorders, and more.
Some conditions — such as asthma and ADHD — may not be covered, since Aetna doesn’t recognize nutrition therapy as a proven treatment for these disorders.
To use your Aetna benefits, a physician referral is not required when services are medically necessary to prevent or treat a condition. Head to this page to learn more.
You can check your Aetna coverage by logging into the official members’ portal.
Virtual consultations with a nutritionist covered by Aetna
Health Loft offers 100% virtual health visits, so you don’t have to worry about extra transportation fees or disruptions with your schedule whenever you meet with your Aetna nutritionist. Conveniently connect with them anywhere, anytime, and receive personalized, top-notch nutrition support that fits your lifestyle.
Before booking your virtual session with a nutritionist covered by Aetna, first confirm that they are licensed to practice in your state.
Some states’ licensure regulations restrict dietitians from offering services — including virtual care — from one state to another, which means they can only work with clients in certain locations. We make this easy by matching you with licensed dietitians in your area who accept Aetna.
Your Aetna insurance coverage will also dictate the costs of your online appointments. Sessions for preventative care may be free of charge, while you may be asked to shoulder a co-pay for others. Learn more about this by starting your journey with Health Loft today.
Frequently asked questions
Don't see your question? Find more hereCan I see the same provider for every appointment?
Yes, you will always meet with the same nutritionist.
How do I know which Aetna-covered nutritionist is right for me?
You can start by selecting a registered Aetna nutritionist who sees clients in your location and whose specialization aligns with your specific health concerns. When browsing Health Loft’s online directory of nutritionists, you can filter your search by location, insurance provider, and specialty.
How should I prepare for my first consultation with an Aetna nutritionist?
During your initial consultation, your dietitian will ask a lot of questions and gather a lot of information. This is so that your dietitian can get to know you, your story, and learn what your long term nutritional goals are. From there, you will work together to create a plan to help you achieve your goals in a healthy and sustainable manner.
How much does an appointment cost?
Most Aetna plans offer 100% coverage for nutritional counseling under preventive services, while some require patients to shoulder a small co-pay, co-insurance, or out-of-pocket cost. If you plan to self-pay instead of using your insurance, our prices are $156 per session.
What questions should I ask Aetna insurance representatives?
If you plan to contact Aetna before scheduling your Health Loft session, here are some questions that may help clarify the benefits you’re entitled to:
- Does my plan cover nutrition counseling? (Specifically, CPT codes 97802 for the initial assessment and 97803 for follow-up sessions)
- Is my health condition qualified for coverage?
- How many sessions are included per year?
- Does my plan cover telehealth sessions?
- What costs do I need to shoulder out-of-pocket, such as co-pays, co-insurance, or deductibles?
- When does my policy year renew?
- Are there any exclusions or limitations to my plan?
- Do I need a physician referral for my health condition?
What should I do if my policy with Aetna doesn't cover nutritionist services?
If this is the case, you still have options:
- Check if you qualify for partial reimbursement for dietitian visits outside the network
- Use your HSA or FSA account
- See if your employer wellness program includes nutrition counseling
- Get in touch with our team to learn more about alternative payment plans for self-paying clients
