Licensing in Michigan?
Michigan does not issue a dietitian license, so the work here is usually payer enrollment, which our sister credentialing team handles. For a license, we prepare every supporting document and a question-by-question guide, request your verifications, and track it to a decision; you complete, sign and submit the application. License by endorsement is $599 per state.
