What is Nutrimedy?

​

Nutrimedy is a novel web-based platform for HIPAA compliant video-visits, communication in between visits, scheduling, billing, automated appointment reminders to reduce no-shows, visit documentation, secure file exchange, dietary logs, member community and much more! Through Nutrimedy, we offer our Dietitians the convenience and flexibility to grow their online practices from the comfort of home and improve longitudinal follow-up with clients essential to lasting behavioral change.

​

​

How much does it cost me and my clients?

​

If your application as a Registered Dietitian is accepted, Nutrimedy is free to sign up and free to stay on the platform in our growing network! Nutrimedy is currently also free for clients to sign up and to stay on the platform. In order for clients to book Dietitian video visits, they must reserve appointments through credit card payment. 

​

How much do I make working through Nutrimedy?

​

Registered Dietitians receive 80% of the visit fee while the remaining 20% goes to support our platform. If you are part of one of Nutrimedy's specific programs you will be notified if payment differs from this model. 

​

Does insurance cover telenutrition video visits through Nutrimedy?

​

Given current wide variation of insurance coverage for telenutrition in the United States, Nutrimedy is best set up for self-pay clients. You can provide a superbill to your clients via secure document exchange in Nutrimedy Messaging and a Nutrimedy-specific superbill is in development.

​

​

Does Nutrimedy bring me new clients beyond the clients I bring onto to the platform?

​

At Nutrimedy, we are working hard every day to bring new clients to our selected Dietitians and have exciting updates to share in the coming months about this! Nutrimedy is presently best set up for Dietitians bringing new or current self-pay clients to connect with them via their own personal websites, social media, email invites, or clinical practices. It's certainly not requisite to have your own Private Practice set up yet. In fact we feel that Nutrimedy provides a great option for individuals delving into the online care space given there's no overhead to hang up a virtual shingle on Nutrimedy! We're here to help you promote your online practice at [email protected]

​

​

Can I work with clients from all over the United States?

​

Based on the current U.S. telehealth laws which Nutrimedy is engineered to comply with, clients can only access Dietitians that are licensed in the state where a client lives. Each Dietitian needs their own professional liability policy which covers telehealth practice of which most plans currently do.

How long are Dietitian video appointments?
