The Dietitians & Nutritionists Fix Kit
Built for dietitians and nutritionists.
Nutrition practices leave money in the gap between what insurance covers and what gets billed. Medicare covers medical nutrition therapy for diabetes and kidney disease, with hours that reset each year and don't carry over. Add commercial plans you're not paneled with, superbills never sent, no-shows, and education costs, and you have the leaks. Your schedule, referrals and claims are the proof. This kit finds where the money leaks in your own work and gives you the steps and the words to close each one.

What people in this work look up
When dietitians and nutritionists go looking for answers, they search things like “dietitian salary”, “dietitian insurance billing”, “nutritionist salary” and “private practice dietitian”. Those searches turn up forms, averages and other people's numbers. This kit starts from your own records instead: the 8 places money leaks in this work, where to look first and the words to send to close each one.
What you get for each leak
- Numbered steps to close each leak
- Your part, spelled out
- Words you can use: letters and scripts, ready to send (fill in the brackets)
