Members Strengthen your health through nutrition

Eating well can make a big difference in how you feel, and you don't have to take on the challenge alone.

Nutrition support for the whole family

Many Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) health plans include up to 30 preventive care visits a year with an in-network licensed dietitian at no cost to you.1 All family members covered under your health plan have access to these visits. 

Every health plan is different, so be sure to check the benefits covered by your plan in your Blue Connect member portal.

How a dietitian can help

You can meet with a licensed dietitian in person or through telehealth.2 They will partner with you to make changes to your diet and give advice — not just a list of foods to eat or avoid.

Nutrition services aren't one size fits all. Whether you're looking to perform your best on the field, rebuild strength after an illness, or address chronic conditions, food experts can help you find solutions for your needs.

Chronic condition management

Nutrition guidance can help you improve your health and manage conditions, like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease.

Weight management

Specialists can help you build long-term healthy eating habits that help weight loss stick. If you're on weight-loss medicine, a dietitian can help you keep the weight off by supporting lifestyle changes.

Sports nutrition

A sports nutrition expert can help you fuel your body so you can build strength, compete hard, and recover faster.

Child nutrition

A pediatric nutrition specialist helps kids eat well so they get what they need to grow. Child critical care dietitians can help ensure children get the nutrients they need to heal from an illness.

Senior nutrition

A dietitian can support older adults in staying healthy and maintaining strength through healthy food habits and nutritious decisions.

Cancer care nutrition

A specialist can help you stay nourished, maintain your strength, and find foods that work for you — even when you don't feel like eating.

Eating disorders

A nutrition expert in eating disorders can help you rebuild a healthy relationship with food. They'll work with you through recovery and create a plan that works for you.

Kidney disease nutrition

These nutrition specialists assist you in managing kidney disease through food choices that protect your kidneys.

Maternal nutrition

A maternal health dietitian can encourage healthy eating for you and your baby before, during, and after pregnancy.
