What to expect?
Your initial consultation will be 1hour long assessment that involves looking at your medical history, diet practices, and lifestyle habits. Stacie's extensive approach is to give her a thorough idea of all the elements that can impact your nutrition. After the assessment she will work with you to formulate goals and the best nutrition care plan that will work for you to meet your goals.
Follow up exams are used to continue your journey to nutrition health. Each follow up exam is 30-60 min depending on your current nutrition needs. There are many layers to nutrition, and it is impossible to cover everything in one appointment. It takes time to make new dietary lifestyle habits; therefore it is highly recommended that clients schedule follow up appointments in order to gain the most benefit from their nutritional services. Dietitians can act as an accountability partner and help guide you on your way. Research shows that individuals who sees their dietitian at least 1x per month for 6 months are more likely to maintain their dietary changes, than individuals who go fewer times.

Insurance: Stacie Ellis does not currently accept insurance for her practice; however, she can provide a diagnostic receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. This has brought some confusion due to the fact she is listed on some insurance websites as a provider. Stacie was previously a provider with partner agencies that she worked with in the past which is why she is listed, but this is separate from her private practice. Again Stacie's private practice is not listed as accepting insurance at this time. The reason why Stacie does not accept insurance is due to the fact that many insurance companies have limits on the amount of nutrition care a patient can get. Being that nutrition and lifestyle changes are not a quick fix that can be achieved in one visit, Stacie strongly believes that allowing such practices will send the wrong messages to clients and will not set them up for success. If you do have insurance, some insurances do allow for reimbursement, if you are wanting a diagnostic receipt for insurance purposes, If you are wanting such a receipt it is your responsibility to contact your insurance provider to see what is covered. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please email Stacie at StacieEllisRDN@yahoo.com.
