Question 1

Cancellations & Rescheduling

Accepted Answer

I know that schedules — and energy levels — can shift. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please reach out at least 24 hours ahead of your session. Cancellations made within 24 hours, or missed sessions, are billed at the full rate, as the time has been reserved specifically for you. I appreciate your understanding and care in helping keep this work sustainable.

Question 2

Can I use my FSA or HSA for coaching?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. Some clients are able to use FSA or HSA funds for health coaching, particularly when services support medical or lifestyle-related changes recommended by their physician.

I do not accept insurance and do not bill insurance directly. Coverage and reimbursement are determined by your individual FSA/HSA plan, so I recommend checking with your provider to confirm eligibility.

I’m happy to provide itemized receipts or supporting documentation if needed, but I can’t guarantee reimbursement or submit claims on your behalf. Many clients choose to pay out of pocket and submit for reimbursement if their plan allows.

Steps for FSA/HSA:
Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN): A physician must provide an LMN stating that health and wellness coaching is recommended to treat or manage a medical condition. Sample letter available with request.

Check with the HSA/FSA provider: Each account administrator may have different documentation requirements. Clients should verify with their provider before submitting expenses.

Eligible expenses: Coaching services must be tied to the prevention, treatment, or management of a medical condition to qualify.

Question 3

Scope of Practice

Accepted Answer

"Health and wellness coaches engage individuals and groups in evidence-based, client-centered processes that facilitate and empower clients to develop and achieve self-determined, health and wellness goals. 
Coaches assist clients to use their own insight, personal strengths, and resources to set goals, commit to action steps, and establish accountability in building an envisioned healthy lifestyle.
In this way, coaches empower clients through encouragement, exploration, the mobilization of internal strengths, the identification and utilization of external resources, and through the support and development of self-management strategies for executing sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes.
The coach’s role is one of accountability partner, not director, in navigating behavioral change and exploring opportunities for growth and development. As facilitators of the behavior change process, health and wellness coaches support clients to achieve self-directed goals and behavioral changes consistent with the client’s vision for health and wellbeing, informed by any treatment plans prescribed by the client’s professional healthcare team. When appropriate, health and wellness coaches may offer evidence-based resources or information from nationally recognized authorities. Additionally, when working under the license of a qualified medical or allied health professional (e.g., physician, psychologist, physical therapist), health and wellness coaches may support the implementation of those professionals’ treatment plans. On their own, however, coaches themselves do not diagnose, interpret medical data, prescribe or de-prescribe, recommend supplements, provide nutrition consultation or create meal plans, provide exercise prescription or instruction, consult and advise, or provide psychological therapeutic interventions* or treatment.
Health and wellness coaches who hold additional, active, national or state-recognized credentials may provide expert support and guidance within their professional scope for that credential; however, disclosure of the professional role and potential conflicts of interest must be discussed with the client and documented from the onset of a professional relationship. Health and wellness coaches should only function in dual roles with conscious intention and by clearly outlining both professional capacities, through discussion and documentation, as well as defining the boundaries of each. Further, health and wellness coaches must be well-versed in the professional capacity of each role, including the limits of knowledge and skills respective to each role, understand and demonstrate how to work within the limits of each professional role, and comply with all guiding ethical principles to ensure client interests and needs are at the forefront of the coach-client partnership." - NBHWC
