I asked about the treatment thing. It looks like this insurance wont pay for the dietician so I'm going to finish up with my PCP who started this before I was told I needed to see a dietician with HAP. I haven't spoken with my doctor about finishing this with him yet but he was willing to start it so I'm sure he'll be willing to finish. Which gets me thinking about the 2 or so visits I had with my doctor before I started with this dietician. I wonder if that will go toward it? Definitely worth looking into.
