Expanding Access to Care: High-Need State Licensure

Help us expand access to care in states where hundreds of patients are currently waiting to see a dietitian due to licensure regulations! To support our mission, Nourish offers a streamlined process for obtaining licenses in our highest-demand "Red States."

We provide two pathways for obtaining new state licenses:

• Nourish-Supported Applications: You can opt in to have Nourish manage and submit licensure applications on your behalf.

• Self-Submitted Applications: You can choose to manage the process yourself using our state-specific guides.

To ensure there is no financial barrier to expanding your reach, Nourish provides:

• Full Reimbursement: We reimburse 100% of application fees for designated high-need states.

• Licensure Bonuses: Providers are eligible for up to 3-red state bonuses for approved licenses in high-demand states.

  • Note: Bonus amounts and eligible states are updated periodically based on patient need.

Once your license is received and uploaded to both CAQH and the Nourish Provider Portal, your bonus will be processed via Payroll.

• Requests are reviewed each payroll week.

• Payments are disbursed according to the annual pay schedule.

Please keep an eye on your inbox! Following your first week with Nourish, you will receive an email containing a link to the Licensure Opt-In Form. This form allows you to select which states you would like Nourish to support or notify us of your intent to apply independently.

• Provider Guides: If you are applying yourself, you can access our state-by-state licensing guides and CEU tracking tool in the Help Center at any time.

• Licensing Reimbursement: Step-by-step instructions on how to submit your licensing application fees for reimbursement via Ramp.

  • Note: This guide also includes instructions on how to request a budget increase if your licensure costs exceed the standard allotted amount.
