Nutrition Counseling for Cardiovascular Health 

 

Specialized nutritional care for patients with heart and vascular disease

Nutrition counseling is part of the approach for treating heart and vascular disease at the Elfers Cardiovascular Health Center. We offer nutritional counseling to patients who are entering the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program. Our nutrition counseling services include:

  • An individual initial meeting when you begin cardiac rehabilitation
  • A four-hour group education component that provides knowledge and strategies to help you live healthier and eat better
  • Individual follow-up appointments as needed

We also offer individual appointments for people with several forms of heart and vascular disease, including:

  • Congestive heart failure
  • Dyslipidemia, or levels of fatty substances in the blood that are too high or low
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)

Make a cardiovascular nutrition counseling appointment

If you’re enrolled in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, your initial appointments will be set up during the intake process. If you need to make an individual appointment for cardiovascular nutrition counseling, please follow these steps:

  • Have your referring doctor’s office fax a written order to the Elfers Cardiovascular Health Center at 617-243-6377
  • Call 617-831-7100 to set up your appointment
  • Appointments are available on Mondays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Preparing for your appointment

Many health insurance plans cover nutrition visits related to treatment for heart and vascular diseases. We encourage you to call your insurance carrier directly before your cancer nutrition counseling appointment to make sure your visit is covered. Learn more about insurance and Medicare coverage.

Please plan on arriving 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment. If you can’t keep your appointment, we would appreciate it if you would cancel or reschedule with at least 24 hours’ notice.

For questions about billing and insurance, please call 617-243-6378
