Insurance Coverage at Lucky Avocado Nutrition

Yes—we accept insurance!
It is the responsibility of our clients (not our team) to confirm coverage before scheduling an appointment. While we do our best to verify benefits, you will be responsible for any charges not covered by your insurance.

You may be wondering if your health insurance covers visits with a nutritionist on our team. The great news: most insurance companies cover nutritional counseling, especially for disease management like diabetes, kidney disease, or weight-related conditions. However, Florida has unique rules for commercial insurance, so we strongly recommend verifying your coverage before booking.

Most of our clients pay $0 out of pocket, but if your insurance does not cover the visit, our self-pay rates are:

  • Initial Assessment: $250

  • Follow-up Appointment: 60 minutes: $175

  • Follow-up Appointment: 30 minutes: $100
