Important Message Regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

All of us at LifeQuality, Inc. Nutrition Network want you to know that we care deeply about your health and we are doing everything we can to quickly respond to the recent news concerning arrival of COVID-19 (aka Coronavirus) to our Counties.  If you have made the decision to self-isolate or are just trying to do your part at social distancing to reduce the spread of the virus, we greatly respect your decision and want to encourage and assist you.

In order to protect you, we are cancelling group education for the next couple of weeks and will re-evaluate again at that time. (Wait for news from us on possible online/virtual class offerings.)  We are also moving to telehealth for one-on-one appointments, if your health plan permits.

Fortunately, most of the health plans that we work with already allow telehealth visits, when needed.  For those that did not, much has happened in the last few days.  The Federal Government has signed, into law, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, which has provided at least 2 years of funding to Medicare for telehealth follow up visits with patients seen in the last 3 years.  

Medi-cal Managed Care and other HMO plans are also making additional provisions for telehealth at this time.  Please contact us by our secure email links on this page, or by phone, to find out if your health plan is allowing for telehealth nutrition counseling during this public health emergency.  If not, we can reschedule your upcoming visit for a later date.  

In the meantime, we would like to share best practices to reduce your risk of infection:

Please stay safe and well.  Wishing you the best of health always!
