Kim Jacobs is a Registered Dietitian at Blue Mountain Hospital. Registered dietitians are your most credible, objective source of nutrition information. In addition, they are trained in the use of nutrition to prevent and control disease. Registered dietitians counsel people on many different topics, including: healthy meals, weight control, menu planning, diabetes, food handling, stroke rehabilitation, sports nutrition, food labels, heart disease, HIV/AIDS, cancer, osteoporosis, pediatric disorders, supermarket tours and more. Many insurance plans will cover your visit to see a registered dietitian. If your insurance company does not, be sure to request this benefit. Medicare allows a certain number of visits for people with diabetes or end-stage renal disease. Check with your provider to determine if you are eligible to see a registered dietitian under Medicare.
