How Health Loft works
Match with Your Ideal Dietitian
When choosing the right Premera nutritionist or dietitian near you, credentials aren't the only factor. Health Loft simplifies this process by connecting you to Premera nutritionists and Premera 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, your Premera nutritionist 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, 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 Premera?
Yes, many Premera Blue Cross plans cover visits with a nutritionist or dietitian, especially when the care is preventive or supports the management of a chronic condition such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, or an eating disorder. Coverage details can vary by plan, but you don’t need to sort through them on your own — we verify your benefits for you. Simply share your Premera insurance information, and we’ll confirm what’s included and handle billing directly with your plan.
For complete clarity on your specific plan’s requirements, we encourage you to visit this page to learn more. You can also check your Premera coverage directly by logging into the Premera members’ portal.
Virtual consultations with a Premera nutritionist
Health Loft offers fully remote nutrition visits for Premera members, so you can connect with a licensed dietitian or nutritionist from the comfort of your home — no commuting required. Our platform makes it easy to schedule telehealth visits that fit your life, whether you’re on a lunch break or winding down in the evening.
Because dietitians must be licensed in your state, we match you only with providers who meet Premera’s in-network criteria and are authorized to work where you live. This ensures your sessions will be covered appropriately and your claims process will run smoothly.
Depending on your plan, virtual sessions with a Premera nutritionist may be fully covered, or you may have a small copay or coinsurance. We’ll walk you through what your out-of-pocket cost might be before you book, so there are no surprises.
