Get Matched with an Expert Dietitian for Your Nutrition Needs

Private practice dietitians are not covered by MSP.  However, many extended health benefit plans and insurance providers will cover a portion or all of the services provided by a Registered Dietitian (RD). Please confirm with your plan provider your maximum yearly and visit allowance.

Furthermore, registered dietitians are authorized medical practitioners recognized by the Canada Revenue Agency.  If you pay out of pocket for your dietitian services, you can claim these expenses as medical expense for tax credit purposes.

A doctor’s referral is not necessary to book in with a BC Dietitian. While a referral is not needed to start your journey with us, we do appreciate connecting with your healthcare provider to coordinate care and provide a holistic and comprehensive care plan.

Our private dietitian services cost $180 per session (no tax). We also offer package and meal plan pricing at BC Dietitians to make seeing a dietitian easy and affordable.  Many extended health benefits will cover dietitian services so you can get your expenses reimbursed.
