Kidney Disease dietitian covered by Oscar
Kidney diets are among the most confusing to follow alone: protein, sodium, potassium and phosphorus all matter, and the targets change with each stage. Our dietitians, including those with dialysis experience, make it manageable.
Yes. Nutrition Solutions for Me is in-network with Oscar, and our registered dietitians help with chronic kidney disease. Oscar usually covers nutrition visits when your BMI is over 30 or you have diabetes. We check your Oscar benefits before your first visit, so you know what to expect.

Frequently asked questions
Does Oscar cover a dietitian for chronic kidney disease?
Oscar usually covers nutrition visits when your BMI is over 30 or you have diabetes. Coverage depends on your specific plan, and our team checks your benefits with Oscar before your first visit.
Can I do my chronic kidney disease visits by video?
Yes. We see patients in person in Suwanee and Lawrenceville, Georgia, and by secure video. Whether your Oscar plan covers video visits depends on your plan, and we confirm it before your visit.
Does Medicare cover a renal dietitian?
Yes, Medicare Part B covers medical nutrition therapy for chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) and after a kidney transplant, with a referral from your doctor.
Do I need to stop eating protein?
Usually no. Most people need the right amount for their stage. Too little protein can cause muscle loss, so targets are set from your labs.
