Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Just like this one but we talk mostly about MNT reimbursement issues etc. You can sign on by emailing: reimbursement-subscribe .. They will ask you questions about being RD, etc to verify.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 You mentioned possible reimbursement for wellness coaching. Are you familiar with the new wellness/health behavior CPT codes? coaching , I don't subscribe to the reimbursement group-I also didn't know about it, but wish I had when I was in private practice. I do agree that in private practice, liability insurance is necessary> I still carry a policy b/c I still do work on the side. Wellness coaching is what I consider the 3rd piece in weight management>the behavior change component. We know it takes nutrition, activity, and behavior change (sometimes facilitated by surgery). Wellness coaching trains you in stages of change-not just what they are,but how to ID them in a client, motivational interviewing, choice therapy, and life coaching skills. This particular program incorporates experts in each individual area to lead sessions. My undergraduate degree was in Health Promotion, with a heavy emphasis on behavior change and I learned SO much in this training. The bonus is that you also get CEU's toward RD, ACE, ACSM, and many more. Additionally there are 1-2 classes each month after completion that count toward CEUs and they are basically free. The process can be done via phone and there is a group working on reimbursement issues. This would help reach clients who don't follow up as much because of distance, traffic, ... I would refer you to the website www.wellcoaches.com for more info than I listed in a previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
