Dietitian Services, LLC (DS) is a management company for Registered Dietitians. Our goal is to bridge the gap between counseling a client and getting paid for your time.
With over 15 years as a Private Practice, exclusive to RD’s, our Parent company- My Diabetes Dietitian, Inc., contracts with local RD’s to counsel our local referrals. Now with the opportunity to provide telehealth services, we are simply increasing the scope of our services- by offering our management skills to other dietitians.
As a partner of DS, you get and counsel the client, and we make sure the claims are paid. All costs and fees associated with these services are paid by DS as part of our partnership.
We handle YOUR Business! We handle:
You no longer have to partner with several service providers just to operate — One business to partner with that handles everything you need done to get paid- we’re a team!
You get and counsel the client, we make sure we the claims are paid. All costs and fees associated with having a private practice are paid by DS part of your management service.
Your only responsibility is to counsel your clients. You set your own schedule. You counsel your way. This is PRN/Gig work on your terms.
How does five billable hours sound per month, week, or day? Do the math.
Our contractors average $45-60 per billable hour. Fee schedules differ per contract as do amounts paid, sometimes annually. Currently Aetna (some) plans pay the least and BCBS (some) plans pay the most.
RD Opportunities For Clients:
Your Local Doctor: Your local doctor may need a PRN RD that takes insurance. It doesn’t cost the doctor anything to refer. It helps their patients. You counsel and help people, maybe even onsite at the doc’s office and you get paid for your time because you accept insurance through Dietitian Services.
Health Fairs and Corporate On-site Wellness: Before the virus, MDD averaged 25-30% of our business
were on-site corporate programs.
Your Circle of daily acquaintances: Most people are concerned about their health and would love advice
on eating healthier and they would love to work with you because they know you. How about helping
them with their meal planning, or weight loss, or…well, you know. Most people have health insurance.
Most health insurance plans pay for nutrition counseling. You’re an RD that provides the knowledge
they need. Dietitian Services helps you get paid for your time.
There is no cost to ‘Opt In’ with one exception. For those RD’s that want to see Medicare clients there is a one time fee of $250.
Information Required:
The bottom line: There is no cost to Opt-in (one optional exception-Medicare). There are no monthly fees (actually, there’…) to the RD. Dietitian Services and the RD get paid when the claim is paid. If you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.
There is no catch. This is what MDD has been doing for 15+ years. This is our current business model. Our contractors (RD’s like you) are doing it now. Opt In and get paid through Dietitian Services. If/When you want to ‘Opt Out’- go ahead. DS will simply stop providing services. If you don’t have any billable clients on the schedule, then there’s no service for us to provide- therefore, you’re ‘Out’ and we no longer have a relationship. If you just want to ‘Pause’ for any reason, but you think you’ll be back soon- no problem, when you’re back and ready to counsel again, just let us know; we’ll update your info and you’ll be back in business in no time. Simple and easy.
We’re a team- we split the remittance payments 50/50.
Our contractors are paid once per month on paid claims that have been accounted for under their name the previous month. For example: On July 1st you are paid for claims that have paid during the month of June. Claims average 15-30 days, from billed to processed.
For those that say ½ is too much, we say this: out of our part, DS pays all the fees associated with the services we offer. Here’s a few examples: There’s scheduling, billing, and claims submission fees. There’s remittance and accounting fees. There’s… Point is, the ½ DS gets isn’t ½ by the time the business of the business is taken care of. There is though, enough left to make this partnership a win-win for everyone. Again, we’re doing it- everyday. It’s our business!
BCBS, United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna/Great West, Medcost, Humana, Medicare* (this is the only
optional charge- One time-up front $250. Half of which will be reimbursed to RD after the 5th billable
hour.
Remember, we don’t get paid unless we get your claim paid. There is no claim without the RD counseling a client. We’re a team. We don’t get paid until we get the claims paid.
No! You’re a contractor. This is Gig/PRN work. There are no employee benefits like health insurance because you’re not an employee.
If claims are denied and deemed uncollectable through insurance by DS- then DS recommends to RD-to client/patient that they call their insurance company and question, why a claim for ‘NUTRITION’ is not being paid. The answers are enlightening.
