All consultations are conducted on a self-pay basis and can take place either in-person at the Maverick Activity Center on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington, at an agreed location (such as a coffee shop or clients home, etc.) or online via Zoom or TEAMS.
Initial Nutrition Assessment- Includes a 30min-2 hour nutrition assessment. Length is dependent on clients needs. Most consultations last 1 hour 15 min. The assessment 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 we will work on developing goals and the best nutrition care plan that will work for you to meet your goals.
Follow Ups- 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.
Packages available for multiple sessions.
Before your Consultation
You will be required to email me a copy. Before the start of your initial appointment you will need to fill out the Health Assessment. HIPPA information can be found here. If you have any current labs, medication lists, or medical records that are pertinent to consultation please have them available at the time of the appointment.
Insurance: Stacie Ellis does not currently accept insurance for her practice; however, she is able to provide a super bill for your insurance company if they accept that for reimbursement. Unfortunately, many insurance companies do not cover nutrition services. Please contact your insurance provider to determine if this is a service they will cover.
Cancellations
Cancellations must be done within 24 hours to avoid a cancellation fee of $50. If a client is more than 15 minutes late for the session, their appointment will be automatically cancelled and they will be charged the late fee.
Refunds
Refunds are not available for clients after they receive a service. If a client must leave the appointment early, the client will only get charged for the time they used. Note, if a client is late, they will be billed from their scheduled start time until the end of the session. I
