Below are the nutrition services eligible for reimbursement by the Cleveland Clinic EHP through the Care Management Department:

Diabetes

This service is for persons who have been diagnosed with either type 1 or 2 diabetes. Our dietitians will provide you with an individualized nutrition plan to establish healthy eating patterns aimed at improving blood sugars and reducing risk factors associated with diabetes. To help you achieve long-term change, our dietitians will work with you for a total of four sessions (one initial consultation and three follow-up sessions).

High Blood Pressure

This service is for persons who have been diagnosed with hypertension (chronically elevated high blood pressure).  Three sessions with the eClevelandClnic dietitian includes the most up-to-date dietary and lifestyle recommendations aimed to help you lower your blood pressure.  We will center our nutrition recommendations to your individual needs and preferences and will provide practical tips and suggestions on how to implement these guidelines.

High Cholesterol

This service is for persons who have been diagnosed with elevated total cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, low HDL (high-density lipoprotein) or high triglycerides. Three sessions with the eClevelandClinic dietitian will include research-backed nutrition strategies to help you lower your risk factors for heart disease.  We’ll offer practical dietary advice to suit your individual heart-health goals.

Weight Loss

If you have excess weight to lose, then four sessions with our experienced dietitians will get you on the road to weight loss success. We’ll provide you with individualized eating strategies, meal preparation tips, menu suggestions, grocery shopping tips, and meal plans centered around your individual needs.  A host of additional tips and suggestions will be provided to help you successfully achieve your weight goals.

Healthy Lifestyle

This service is not for persons who have been diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or for those seeking to lose weight.  This one-session only service is for those who are seeking some dietary advice on a few key areas in their life, such as tips to encourage healthy eating, at-work healthy eating strategies, or if you’d just like some confirmation from a professional that your current eating patterns are healthful.  We’ll help you establish small healthy eating strategies to keep you on the path to a healthy lifestyle.
