What this means if you are looking for help
No state licence means the title "lactation consultant" is not restricted in Michigan. Anyone may use it. That makes checking the IBCLC credential itself the thing that tells you something.
Can a lactation consultant bill Medicaid here?
Only through another provider
Michigan Medicaid bulletin MSA 15-46 requires the rendering provider for lactation services to be a Medicaid-enrolled physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant or nurse midwife. When one of them delegates to and supervises an IBCLC within their scope of practice, that practitioner may bill — so a lactation consultant who is not a nurse can be paid only through them. ⚠ Michigan's site refused our request; this rests on the bulletin's text as indexed.
