> Insurers will pay for many non-medical allied health services including registered dieticians (RD) in cases where those meet coverage rules based on scientific evidence. Saying they will pay out in their brochure and actually paying out are two very different things. Anyone who has spent any time trying to get reimbursed for medical expenses knows the maze of dark patterns that insurance companies will use to avoid paying out. They wear you down with broken websites and “lost” form submissions until you give up. Medical insurance companies don’t make money by providing healthcare. They make money by collecting premiums and not providing healthcare. And actual scientific evidence has very little effect on what’s covered easily and what gets the runaround.
