Clinical nutrition 
infrastructure for digital health platforms.

RDNC operates the 50-state white-label Registered Dietitian network behind telehealth, GLP-1, payer, and digital health platforms. Already credentialed. Already HIPAA-compliant. Already operating at scale.

You're building a telehealth product, scaling a GLP-1 program, or launching a nutrition benefit. The published clinical evidence is unambiguous: medication-only models lose to integrated models on outcomes, retention, and member economics. But building a 50-state credentialed RD network takes years and millions. RDNC operates that infrastructure today. Live within 90–120 days. Production-ready from day one.

A 1M+ member GLP-1 platform

✓   Scalable from launch to nationwide on day one

NOT BUILT FOR

RDNC is the licensed, credentialed clinical infrastructure layer for healthcare platforms, payers, and digital health companies. We are not the right fit for:

  • Pre-product platforms without a defined member cohort.

  • Cash-pay wellness apps without clinical leadership.

  • Platforms seeking individual contractor white-labeling without operational integration.

  • Engagements below meaningful annual visit-volume thresholds.

THE RETENTION CRISIS

The market has a retention problem.

Medication alone doesn't solve it.

Two findings define the operating environment every platform is now planning around.

THE PAYER REQUIREMENT

Coverage is no longer separable from structured nutrition care.

The payers and PBMs underwriting GLP-1 spend have repriced what they're willing to fund. The new gating condition is integrated, evidence-based nutrition care — documented, measurable, and credentialed. Platforms that can't show it are losing covered lives.

COMMERCIAL CARRIERS & PBMs

Lifestyle counseling tied to prior authorization

Major commercial carriers and PBMs are conditioning GLP-1 prior auth on documented engagement with a credentialed nutrition professional — not generic app-based coaching. Programs without an RD on the care team are being denied or non-renewed.

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

MNT documentation requirements

Medicare Advantage plans are tightening evidence requirements for nutrition benefits, including Medical Nutrition Therapy documentation tied to qualifying diagnoses. Plans need a real provider network, not a wellness vendor.

SELF-INSURED EMPLOYERS

Wraparound clinical care is the new floor

Large self-insured employers paying directly for GLP-1 access are increasingly requiring structured behavior-change support as a condition of plan inclusion. Medication-only vendors are being de-selected at renewal.

Reflects directional trends observed across commercial, Medicare Advantage, and employer-funded GLP-1 coverage. Specific carrier and PBM names available under NDA during partnership scoping.

THE PUBLISHED EVIDENCE

Structured RD-led support is the layer that drives outcomes.

Real-world outcomes data from at-scale integrated GLP-1 programs points clearly in one direction. When members engage with structured Registered Dietitian programming, weight loss, retention, tolerability, and long-term outcomes are materially better on every dimension that matters.

STAT

WHAT IT SHOWS

WHY IT MATTERS

~29%

More body weight lost at 12 months with RD-integrated care

Among GLP-1 members who engaged regularly with structured RD-led programming, compared to GLP-1 users who did not. The medication works materially better when nutrition care is integrated — directly affecting payer reauthorization criteria, member outcomes, and program retention.

67%

One-year medication persistence with RD-integrated care

Compared to 32% persistence in unsupported populations — more than doubling the duration of therapy per member, and directly extending member LTV.

68%

Six-month GLP-1 persistence in RD-supported cohorts

Versus a 46% industry benchmark for members without dietitian support. Members stay on therapy longer when nutrition care is integrated.

64%

Reported reduction in GLP-1 side effect burden after RD coaching

Side effects are the #1 cause of GLP-1 discontinuation. Dietitian-led tolerability strategies directly address the primary drop-off driver.

63%

Maintained or continued weight loss 12 months after stopping medication

In integrated RD programs — compared to clinical trial populations where two-thirds of total weight loss is regained within a year of discontinuation.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The telehealth, digital health, and payer platforms that integrate RD-delivered nutrition care are seeing two to three times the retention of medication-only models — and the payer requirements outlined above are accelerating the gap.

RDNC is the clinical nutrition infrastructure layer for digital health — operating the credentialed network so platforms don't have to build it.

CHALLENGES WE ADDRESS

The clinical nutrition gap behind every platform.

01.

Telehealth & digital health platforms needing licensed RDs for nutrition counseling at scale.

02.

GLP-1 & weight management programs requiring dietitian-led behavioral support as part of the clinical model.

03.

Insurance carriers & Medicare Advantage offering nutrition benefits that need a real, credentialed provider network.

04.

Employer wellness platforms adding nutrition services to their health offering.

05.

Chronic disease management programs integrating MNT alongside care management.

06.

Digital health startups that need clinical credibility and a 50-state RD network from day one.

HOW RDNC SOLVES IT

The infrastructure is already built.

50-state credentialed network

Every RD on the network is RD/RDN-credentialed and state-licensed in their service state. RDNC manages licensure, continuing education, and re-credentialing.

Launch to nationwide on day one

No infrastructure rebuild required. Start with a defined cohort. Scale on the same contract.

Flexible commercial models

Per-visit, monthly retainer, dedicated RD pods, or hybrid. Matched to your unit economics.

White-label by default

RDs operate under your brand, inside your platform, using your workflows. Members never see RDNC.

Clinical quality & compliance

RDNC manages QA, malpractice coverage, HIPAA compliance, OIG/SAM screening, and ongoing professional development.

One accountable partner

A dedicated account lead who knows your KPIs, product roadmap, and people.

HOW IT WORKS

From discovery call to nationwide rollout.

01

Intro call

30-minute call with our partnerships team. We learn what you're building, where you operate, and what success looks like.

02

Discovery & service design

Working session with your product, clinical, and operations leads. Tailored partnership proposal within 7–10 business days.

03

Implementation launch

Defined member cohort, success metrics, dedicated RD pod operating under your brand. Launch within 90–120 days of signed agreement, scaled to your dedicated capacity requirements.

04

Scale together

After launch validation, scale to your full member base. RDNC grows the network — credentialing, hiring, training, geographic expansion — to match your roadmap.

WHAT DRIVES THE TIMELINE

Standard launches using existing credentialed RDs run on the faster end of the range. Enterprise launches requiring substantial new RD credentialing — large dedicated pods, multi-state expansion, or complex integration with proprietary platforms — run on the longer end. Either way, the work that would take an in-house team 18–24 months is compressed into a single quarter.

WHY RDNC

Every RD on the network meets the same standard.

THE MOAT

Multi-state credentialing is the single biggest barrier to scaling clinical nutrition infrastructure. RDNC has already built that network across all 50 states. Platform partners launch within 90–120 days — not the 18–24 months it takes to build a credentialed RD network from scratch.

INTEGRATION

Operates inside Healthie, Welkin, Spruce, Salesforce Health Cloud, custom telehealth platforms, and proprietary member portals. We adapt to your stack — your platform stays the system of record.

Active credential through the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), verified before assignment and tracked through renewal.

✓ VERIFIED

Malpractice coverage

Professional liability and general liability coverage carried by RDNC on every engagement. COIs provided to partner risk and credentialing teams.

✓ VERIFIED

50-state licensure

State-licensed in every service state. RDNC manages licensure verification, renewal tracking, and multi-state credentialing across the network.

PROOF POINTS

Twelve years operating the network.

ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Don't hire 200 dietitians in 50 states. License the network that's already there.

RDNC supports platforms with flexible commercial models matched to your member economics, volume profile, and integration approach. One master services agreement, one accountable partner, one network that scales with your roadmap.

MODEL

BEST FOR

WHAT IT IS

Monthly retainer

Platforms launching nutrition services with defined member volume

Reserved monthly RD capacity matched to your member panel. Minimum utilization protects dedicated availability. Predictable run-rate with clear SLA on response time and visit coverage.

Dedicated pods

At-scale platforms requiring named, exclusive clinical capacity

A named RD team assigned exclusively to your platform — same dietitians, every member, every visit. Reserved capacity is billed on a monthly minimum that protects availability, with overage pricing above the floor.

Hybrid · Standard at scale

Enterprise platforms with complex member segmentation and integration depth

Dedicated capacity for core clinical work, flexible overflow for volume swings, deep integration into your stack. Most enterprise partnerships land here.

Pricing scoped to your platform's volume, geography, integration depth, and clinical model. A discovery call surfaces a tailored proposal in 7–10 business days.

COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE

How partnerships are structured.

ENTERPRISE TERMS

Enterprise launches are structured as multi-year partnerships, with initial terms shaped by integration depth, dedicated capacity, and onboarding investment. Implementation, training, and dedicated RD onboarding are co-invested by both parties — either as an upfront fee or built into PMPM economics. Smaller deployments can run on lighter validation terms.

COMPLIANCE & SECURITY

Built for enterprise procurement.

RDNC operates within your secure environment. Your platform is the system of record.

RDNC dietitians operate inside your secure cloud, EMR, or telehealth platform — using your authentication, your data infrastructure, and your access controls. You remain the covered entity. RDNC operates as a Business Associate under a BAA. Member data resides in your platform — not RDNC's.

COVERED

Clinical credentialing

Active RD/RDN credential through CDR. State licensure verified before assignment. Continuing education and renewal tracking handled by RDNC.

COVERED

Malpractice & liability

Professional liability and general liability coverage carried by RDNC on every engagement. COIs provided to partner risk management and credentialing teams.

COVERED

Data residency

Member data resides in your platform's infrastructure — not RDNC's. RDNC accesses through partner-provisioned credentials and audit logging.

COVERED

Background screening

Comprehensive background checks, OIG/SAM exclusion screening, and reference verification on every RD.

COVERED

HIPAA & BAA

Business Associate Agreement standard. HIPAA-compliant workflows trained and audited across the network. PHI handled within partner's secured environment.

COVERED

Vendor risk readiness

Sample security questionnaire responses, sub-processor list, business continuity plan, and incident response procedures available for procurement review.

FAQ

Enterprise-grade questions, answered.

1. Can RDNC white-label dietitian services?

+

Yes. Our RDs operate under your brand, within your platform, using your workflows. We handle credentialing, scheduling, quality, and compliance in all 50 states — your members never see RDNC.

2. Who carries malpractice and professional liability?

+

RDNC carries professional liability and general liability coverage on every RD in the network. COIs are provided to partner risk management and credentialing teams as part of standard onboarding.

3. Who owns member data?

+

You do. Member data resides in your platform's infrastructure — RDNC accesses through partner-provisioned credentials with full audit logging. RDNC operates as a Business Associate under a standard BAA.

4. How does RDNC handle multi-state licensure?

+

We manage licensure verification, continuing education, and credentialing for every dietitian in our network across all 50 states. As your platform expands into new states, we ensure the network is licensed there before launch.

5. What does quality assurance look like?

+

Ongoing peer review, documentation audits, member satisfaction tracking, and clinical outcomes reporting. Partner-level QA dashboards available as part of standard reporting cadence.

6. What does a GLP-1 platform partnership look like?

+

Dedicated RD pods, synchronous video visits, asynchronous care plans, and ongoing dietary support integrated into your prescribing workflow. Most partnerships launch a defined member cohort within 90–120 days, then scale to the full member base on the same agreement.

7. How fast can RDNC launch a partnership?

+

Standard launches run 90–120 days from signed agreement, covering credentialing, training, branded workflows, integration setup, and dedicated pod deployment. Enterprise-scale launches requiring large dedicated capacity (20+ RDs) or deep custom integration may extend further. Either way, RDNC's pre-built 50-state credentialed network removes the 18–24 month infrastructure buildout that's otherwise required.

8. Can RDNC integrate with our EMR or platform?

+

Yes. We operate inside Healthie, Welkin, Spruce, Elation Health, Salesforce Health Cloud, custom telehealth platforms, and proprietary member portals. Where FHIR APIs are available, we use them; where you have a custom build, we adapt to it. Our RDs document inside your platform — your system stays the source of truth.
