Bringing Patients to Nourish

Estimated read time: Less than 10 minutes

Dietitians are encouraged to take advantage of our patient referral bonus, a 25% session rate increase for all referred patients! Below you will find instructions on how to be credited with patient referrals, by utilizing your unique referral link, claiming external providers, by adding a patient directly within your Provider Portal, or by creating custom business cards.

At the bottom left of your Provider Portal, you will see the below icon. Simply click to retrieve your unique referral link! Your referral link can be shared with prospective patients; any patient that uses your link to sign-up, whether they schedule a session with you, or another Nourish dietitian, will be credited to you!

Please note: Your referral link will not be active until your scheduling is enabled.

"Claiming" external providers allows you to be automatically credited with any patients that the external provider refers to Nourish! You are able to claim up to 10 individual external providers. All external providers must have an NPI, and at this time, it's not possible to claim an entire practice.

To claim a referring provider, simply complete this Referring Provider Claim form (link also found in the bottom left of your Provider Portal, in the image above). After submission, the partnerships team will confirm your claim. Once confirmed, you will start receiving credit for referred patients!

Any patient that books and lists your claimed provider as the referral source will be eligible, they do not need to use your unique link.

External providers can refer patients to Nourish by submitting our online referral form, by faxing the referral to 512-399-9039, or by emailing the referral to support@usenourish.com. We will reach out to the referred patient within 24 hours to invite them to sign up with Nourish and schedule a session with one of our dietitians they are matched with. More information on external provider referrals can be found here!

To schedule an initial session with a patient who has not yet registered with Nourish, you can add them directly through your Provider Portal. Simply click the "Add a Patient" button in the left-hand sidebar and complete the details in the pop-up window to set up the session. The patient will then receive an email invitation to create their Patient Portal account.

When adding a patient, you'll need to have their demographic and insurance information available, as they will skip the usual sign-up process where this data is typically gathered. This option is ideal if you're looking to transition patients from your private practice to Nourish.

Any patients added this way will automatically be credited to you as a referral.

We're pleased to offer a yearly $25 reimbursement to all providers for the purpose of purchasing business cards! Business cards can be designed to include your unique referral link as a QR code, so you'll be automatically credited with any patients who sign up with Nourish from your business card.
