Frequently Asked Questions

What is Foodsmart?

Foodsmart is a personal nutrition program that helps members create a nutrition plan that fits their health and wellness goals, and budget. We offer members a simple solution to managing their health and reaching their nutrition goals.

Foodsmart connects CountyCare HealthChoice Illinois members with their own registered dietitian, a nutrition expert who is licensed to support members with common medical conditions, like diabetes, cancer, heart conditions and obesity, through nutrition and healthy choices. Foodsmart's digital app helps members with meal planning, shopping on a budget, and food delivery.

What can a dietitian help me with?

Foodsmart’s registered dietitians can guide members through any health or wellness concern—from maternity nutrition to nutrition for athletes. Foodsmart provides best-in-class situational nutritional support by helping members stay on track to meet their goals and sharing their expertise along the way. Because Foodsmart only employs registered dietitians licensed to treat complex conditions, the program is ideal for anyone with specific conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. Foodsmart’s customized meal planning and recipes help busy employees save time each week and alleviate stress.

What can I expect during a dietitian visit?

Your dietitian will start your first visit by asking about your health goals, eating habits, medical and family history, what kind of food you like, cooking skills, and more, to get a full picture of who you are and how they can set you up for success. From there, you'll create small, reachable goals and work with your nutrition coach to stay on-track!
During follow-up visits, you will check in on your progress, dive deeper into your goals, and get help with any challenges you run into along the way.

How will this program work with my other providers or care management team?

Working with a dietitian is a wonderful addition to any care management team. We'll work to understand your current medications, practices and goals, then develop a nutrition plan that can fit easily into your routine.
