You have questions. We have answers!
Are appointments virtual or in-person?
We offer primarily virtual appointments using a secure video platform. This enables us to offer you appointments on your lunch break, on your day off and in the evening.
We know you all have busy lives! Virtual appointments are incredibly convenient…
No travel time.
No paying for parking.
No having to take a day off of work.
On special request we can accommodate in-person appointments. We have an office downtown Montreal, QC, Canada (close to the Jewish Hospital).
Do you provide insurance receipts?
Yes! After your appointment, your dietitian will send you an official receipt to submit to your insurance company for a reimbursement. If you’re not sure if your health insurance plan covers dietitians, it’s definitely worth checking!! If you don’t have private insurance, don’t forget that you can claim your appointment fees at tax time as a medical expense.
I’m ready to book my first appointment. What are the next steps?
Awesome! We can’t wait to meet you :) The first step is to book a 15 minute call with a local dietitian. On the call he/she will explain how working together works and we’ll set you up with the next steps.
Do I have homework before my first appointment?
Yes! For new clients, we will send you a link to make a profile in our client E-portal. Once you’ve created a profile, you’ll see a questionnaire to fill out and a waiver to sign. Your dietitian might also request you complete a 3 day food journal in the food journal part of the E-portal before you meet. You can log your meals and snacks with photos (WAY LESS WORK than most apps) or by written text.
Is online nutrition counseling just as effective as in-person?
Yes! Research shows that online counseling is just as effective as in-person counseling, not mention more convenient!
What if I don’t feel comfortable paying the full amount for a service before we have our first appointment?
We are happy to accommodate. Please discuss this with your dietitian if you prefer to pay in two installments. We will request that you pay 75% of the appointment fee BEFORE the appointment and the remaining balance (25%) within 24 hours of the appointment. You will not receive an official receipt for insurance purposes nor your summary documents until the full amount is paid.
I’d like to see your full terms and conditions please!
