How Health Loft works
Match with Your Ideal Dietitian
When choosing the right nutritionist or dietitian near you, credentials aren't the only factor. Health Loft simplifies this process by connecting you to Aetna dietitians 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. The goal is to gain a holistic view of your nutritional needs, gathering information about your current eating habits, lifestyle, and specific health concerns. Based on these insights, they'll 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, and we're with you every step of the way. Our health experts ensure 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.
Are Nutritionist Services Covered by GEHA?
GEHA provides nutritionist coverage primarily for preventive care and the management of chronic health conditions for its members. This encompasses support for individuals dealing with overweight or obesity, those with cardiovascular disease risk factors like diabetes or hypertension, kidney disease, eating disorders, and more. Nutritional counseling is generally considered medically necessary for these conditions, particularly when provided by an in-network provider.
However, certain conditions, such as asthma and ADHD, may not be covered by GEHA plans. This is because nutrition therapy might not be recognized as a proven treatment for these specific disorders by your plan. It’s always advisable to verify the specifics of your individual policy.
To utilize your GEHA benefits, a physician referral from your PCP could be a prerequisite for nutrition services to be covered, especially for Medical Nutrition Therapy. For complete clarity on your specific plan’s requirements, we encourage you to visit this page to learn more.
You can also review your GEHA coverage details directly by logging into the GEHA members’ portal.
Virtual Consultations with a GEHA Nutritionist
Health Loft proudly offers 100% virtual health visits, eliminating concerns about extra transportation costs or disruptions to your schedule when meeting with your GEHA nutritionist. Connect conveniently from anywhere, at any time, and receive personalized, top-tier nutrition support that seamlessly integrates with your lifestyle.
Before scheduling your virtual session with a nutritionist covered by GEHA, it’s crucial to confirm that they are licensed to practice in your state. This ensures full compliance with state-specific regulations and proper processing of your insurance claims.
State licensure regulations can sometimes restrict dietitians from providing services, including virtual care, across state lines. This means they may only be able to work with clients in specific locations. Health Loft simplifies this process by meticulously matching you with licensed dietitians in your area who accept GEHA.
The cost of your online appointments with a GEHA nutritionist will depend on your specific plan’s benefits. For many, especially those seeking preventive care, sessions could be fully covered at no charge. Other plans might involve a small copay or coinsurance. To understand your exact financial responsibility, we encourage you to start your journey with Health Loft today and let us verify your benefits.

- 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.
