The patient is provided a detailed itemized receipt listing the service provided, the credentials of the Dietitian, as well as payment details for reimbursement.

Do I need a doctor's prescription to see the Dietitian?

No. However, if you have insurance coverage for Dietitian services, you should be familiar with any requirements that your insurance provider requires.

What is the difference between a Dietitian and a nutritionist?

The term dietitian is protected by law for health professionals who have a Bachelor’s degree specializing in foods and nutrition, and are members of a provincially regulated body. A nutritionist is not protected by law and so people with different levels of training and knowledge can call themselves “nutritionist”.
