Nutrition support for the whole family
Many Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) health plans include up to 30 preventive care visits a year with an in-network licensed dietitian at no cost to members. All family members covered under the health plan have access to these visits. Every health plan is different, so be sure to encourage the patient to check the benefits covered by their plan in the Blue Connect℠ member portal. Details about accessing the Blue Connect member portal are included in the resources section below.
Members can meet with a licensed dietitian in person or through telehealth. They will partner with the patient to make changes to their diet and give advice — not just a list of foods to eat or avoid. Nutrition services aren't one size fits all. Whether the member is looking to perform their best on the field, rebuild strength after an illness, or address chronic conditions, food experts can help find solutions for their needs.
