Important Message Regarding Communicable Disease and Patient Safety

All of us at LifeQuality Nutrition Network want you to know that we care deeply about your overall health.  In an effort to support social distancing recommendations and to reduce the spread of serious viruses, we greatly respect everyone's decision to be safe and we want to encourage and assist you.

In order to protect you, we continue to provide services via telephone or telehealth (with video).  Group diabetes management sessions via telehealth, are also available.  

Fortunately, most of our contracted health plans allowed telehealth visits, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.  For those that did not, much has happened these past couple of years.  In 2020, the Federal Government signed, into law, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, which provided at least 2 years of funding to Medicare for telehealth.  Congress has since expanded this Act.

Aside from the pandemic, patients have expressed their appreciation for phone and/or video appointments, from the comfort of their homes.  No more fighting traffic, trying to find the office and waiting in a lobby.  Our appointment attendance rates improved dramatically as a result of telehealth across the board.  The Dietitians love it also and find that counseling a person in their own home allows us to observe and participate in a way we wouldn't otherwise.  Many patients walk their phone or computer into the kitchen to show us their pantry and fridge!

Managed Care (HMO) plans have been making additional provisions for telehealth.  Please contact us by our secure email links on this page, or by phone, to find out if your health plan is covering telehealth nutrition counseling at this time.  

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!
