FAQs 

Is the gut health program (dietitian + Gutcheck test)  covered under my Medavie Blue Cross plan? 

If your Medavie Blue Cross benefit plan includes dietitian services, this program  may be covered depending on your plan design. To check, go to the Blue Cross mobile app Coverage tab, and select Practioners Services to see if your plan includes dietitians.

How do I book the consultations and receive my Gutcheck kit? 

Click “Book Consultation” and choose your preferred language option Next, select a date and time that works best for you for your initial consultation.  

 

During this consultation, if the dietitian determines that the Gutcheck test would help you better understand your gut health concerns, they will order the kit to be shipped directly to your home address.

 

The initial consultation may be directly billed to Medavie Blue Cross. You’ll be responsible for any portion not covered. If direct billing is not available you can submit your claim for reimbursement via the mobile app or member services site. The remaining program cost will be  payable after your second consultation.

 

Spouses/dependants with other primary insurance are required to pay the full amount then submit the receipt for reimbursement under their insurance first. The balance may be submitted to Medavie Blue Cross, along with the Explanation of Benefits.  

Do I need to complete any forms or preparation before the test or consultations? 

No, there’s no preparation required before your first consultation. During your initial call, the dietitian will guide you through the onboarding process, answer any questions about the Gutcheck test, and arrange your test booking. If a test is ordered, no special preparation is needed for the stool sample — detailed collection and shipping instructions will be included in your kit.  

What kind of advice will I receive from the dietitian after the test? 

Your post-test consultation will include: 

  • A walkthrough of your gut microbiome results found in the report. The report will be sent to you after the consultation.  
  • Identification of imbalances or markers linked to digestion, metabolism, inflammation, and more. 
  • A customized plan to support your gut health and overall well-being. 

How long does it take to get my Gutcheck results? 

Once your sample is received by the lab, results are typically available within 4–6 weeks. You’ll be notified by email, and your post-test consultation with the dietitian can then be scheduled to review your results 

Do I have to use both dietitian consultations, or can I choose just one? 

The gut health program includes two consultations. The first is designed for the dietitian and the member to decide whether or not this test will be helpful in understanding and improving the member’s gut health issues. The second consultation is designed for the member to learn the results of their test, receive the full report and discuss what changes in diet/lifestyle which help improve their gut health issues.  

What if I already have a dietitian? Can they access my Gutcheck results? 

Yes. After the dietitian sends you the full Gutcheck report, you may share it with your own dietitian, physician, or other healthcare professional. 

Is it possible to purchase a Gutcheck kit without the dietitian component? 

The Gutcheck test is available to Medavie Blue Cross members for a special price of $199 and Gutcheck VIVO is available for $249 (both are $50 less than the regular price on the Gutcheck website). You pay this amount upfront.

If the test is purchased directly without being part of the gut health program, the cost of the kit is not eligible for reimbursement using Extended Health Benefits or Health Spending Accounts. For members who have a Personal Wellness Account that include the Health Assessment option, it may be submitted for reimbursement using the same process as other PWA claims. Direct billing will not be available for this option.
