“I wanted to take a moment and thank you for this course, and even more the reassurance that it feels like I can reach out to you at any time if I run into a tough question and need a little direction. You are both obviously rich with experience in the very aspects of the journey into a successful private practice where my experience is most lacking! I really appreciate that you are both willing to share your stories and experiences with those of us just getting started. I am a single mom, working full time (and commuting at least 10 hours a week) and acting as the primary caretaker for my 89 year old mother, who lives with us and is in failing health. A great thing about going to so many doctor appointments with mom has been the opportunity to mention to her doctors my plan to launch my private practice in the coming months, and the response has been incredibly positive.“

-Sara, New Jersey

"I am so grateful to Diane and Michele for breaking down the steps involved in establishing a successful private practice into such easily digestible nuggets. The wealth of knowledge they brought to the table each week was priceless, and thanks to anecdotes of their personal experiences, I'll hopefully be spared from learning some lessons the hard way. The MNT Practice Pro class with its personable instructors, business forms, Q&A sessions, and additional resources was well worth every bit of financial and time investment!"

— Chris, Texas

“Diane is not only proficient in all things reimbursable, but her years of experience have given her “real-world” expertise. It is one thing to know the information, and quite another to apply it correctly. Diane walked me through the steps for reimbursement, answered all of my questions, and set me in the right direction to get started.”

- Marie A., California

“I have really enjoyed mentoring and coaching with Diane Machcinski in the past. Diane was extremely thorough in answering all of my questions and provided all of the information I needed to start a private practice. She also helped outline the exact steps I needed to take in order to bill Medicare for MNT services related to diabetes. In addition, Diane provided suggestions for marketing my services to physicians. I would highly recommend Diane for any RDN hoping to start a private practice and bill insurance. She was an excellent mentor and coach.”

- Natalie L. , California

“Diane is THE go to person for all things insurance. She has kept the CANDSD membership up to date on insurance matters for well over 15 years and has decades of experience running her very successful private practice. Diane was able to walk me through the options for taking insurance or increasing the chances of reimbursement for my clients. I’m confident that there is no insurance question Diane can’t answer! I highly recommend her!”

- Lindsay S., California

“I needed help and I needed it fast when I found myself seeing clients before I fully understood how to verify insurance and submit claims. Diane was able to give me my first hour long session the day after our 15 minute phone call. Its clear she has been in the field a long time and is very knowledgeable about what she is doing. She also tailors the session based on your needs and what areas you are struggling in so you don't waste time discussing things you already know.“

-Sharon H., New York

“Diane is the BEST! She has so much experience, knowledge, and passion—I know I can always count on her if I ever feel stuck, which is quite often when starting your own private practice from scratch! Working with Diane has helped me so much and set me up to become a successful private practice dietitian as I now feel more confident and understand the business side. She has been with me every step of the way providing resources and answering all my questions. Diane is the guru of reimbursement and has helped me navigate how to set up a successful private practice and taking different insurance plans. I am so grateful to have Diane as my mentor and would recommend that every dietitian should have the chance to work with her!”

-Jackie G., California

“Diane Machcinski is a fantastic consultant and I highly recommend her! Anyone who is thinking about starting their own private practice should seriously consider working with her. She brings such knowledge, experience and calmness to the table. After each session, she emails detailed notes about what was discussed, and action items to do. Diane makes everything very easy and manageable.

If you're a dietitian thinking about accepting private or government insurance, I would strongly recommend using Diane’s services. You can either pay her to help you not make mistakes, or pay for your own mistakes you make when starting your practice. I personally preferred learning from her! I wouldn’t recommend accepting insurance unless you work with Diane!”

-Allison, Texas

"Over the past several months, I had the opportunity to work with Diane Machcinski, M.Ed., RD on reimbursement coaching for my business. Prior to our first session, Diane learned about myself and my business and, using my own goals, helped to create an outline for us to work on together. Our sessions consisted of topics that would help me reach these goals and action items to help me reach them in a timely manner. Diane's years of experience gave me confidence in her coaching and in applying these action items. Her knowledge of reimbursement (and business in general) proved to be instrumental in helping me improve my revenue and create other opportunities for me to grow my business.“

- Lisa, California

“The virtual package program for RDs who are new to the private practice world was so helpful. It is well organized, comprehensive, and full of useful tidbits regarding the billing, and different insurance reimbursements. Diane’s amazing experience and coaching helped me to figure out how to start my private practice by accepting different insurances and how to not make mistakes when it comes to billings and patient eligibility. I highly recommend working with Diane if you’re even thinking about starting a business from scratch, she will introduce you to a new world of dietitian business. I really appreciate your support on this tasking journey.”

-Shima, California

“I can’t say enough good things about Diane and Michele. They have provided me with so much guidance and clarity as I started my private practice. Now I’m seeing more clients than I could have ever imagined and am actually getting paid by a variety of insurance companies when I provide MNT (something I never thought would happen). I highly recommend any dietitian who is thinking about starting their own practice to let Diane and Michele help you get started!”
