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 Select Health 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 Select Health?
Select Health provides nutritionist coverage primarily for preventive care and for managing chronic conditions. This includes support for individuals who are overweight or obese, those with cardiovascular disease risk factors, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, eating disorders, and more. Nutritional counseling is typically considered medically necessary for these conditions.
However, some conditions — such as asthma and ADHD — may not be covered under Select Health, as nutrition therapy might not be recognized as a proven treatment for these specific disorders by the plan
To utilize your Select Health benefits, a physician referral is not always required when services are medically necessary to prevent or treat a condition. For full clarity on your specific plan’s requirements, please visit this page to learn more.
Virtual Consultations with an Select Health Nutritionist
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 Select Health nutritionist. Conveniently connect with them anywhere, anytime, and receive personalized, top-notch nutrition support that fits your lifestyle.
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. Health Loft makes this easy by matching you with licensed dietitians in your area who accept Select Health.
Your Select Health 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.
