Reinstatement Request

Please read each option carefully to determine which one applies to you. Contact the office by email if you have concerns regarding your eligibility to reinstate.

OPTION 1. If it has been less than 2 years since you have been inactive, you will need to submit 12 CEUs per calendar year for each year you have not renewed. (minimum of 24 ceus)

OPTION 2. If you are presently working as a medical assistant:
If you have been inactive for over 2 years and you are working as a medical assistant, you will need an original official letter of recommendation from your physician-employer stating the specific clinical and clerical duties you perform, your dates of employment and his/her determination you are qualified to be reinstated to active status. This must be on Facility Letter Head, with the physician's typed name, license number, and signature. You will also need to submit 12 CEUs per calendar year for each year you have not renewed. (minimum of 36 ceus)

If you are working at a major medical facility, and can not obtain a physician letter of recommendation as stated above, you will need an original official letter from the Human Resource Department stating your dates of employment and a copy of your official job description for the position you hold. You will also need to submit 12 CEUs per calendar year for each year you have not renewed. (minimum of 36 ceus)

OPTION 3. If you have been inactive for 3 years and longer and you have not been working as a medical assistant, we suggest you take a refresher course at an area school of medical assisting. Ask at an area school if you may take or audit their clinical review class to update your skills. These are classes which students usually take before they go out on externship. If you attended a school of medical assisting, we suggest you contact the school from which you graduated. They may be able to help you.

Upon completion of your refresher course, an original, official letter of recommendation from the school must be submitted with the reinstatement form. This letter must include course content and evaluation of your skills. This original official letter of recommendation must be on Facility Letter Head from the School Director, the Medical Assisting Director, or the Allied Health Director.

OPTION 4. If you are inactive from the previous year and did not renew by April 30th (postmark deadline), of the current year, you will need to submit 15 CEUs along with the reinstatement request form.

After June 30th of the current year (postmark deadline), you will need 18 CEUs for "LATE RENEWAL".

After August 30st of the current year, (postmark deadline), you will need 21 CEUs for "LATE RENEWAL".

After October 30th of the current year, (postmark deadline), you will need 24 CEUs to "REINSTATE".
