It is important for you to keep your certification valid, both for you and those the individuals we support. If your certification expires, you cannot bill for or be reimbursed for services delivered during the time your certification lapsed.
Recertification for Agency Providers
Your initial certification is valid for 3 years.
When your certification is approaching expiration, you must apply for recertification. You can start applying up to 90 days in advance of expiration. Best practice is to start the application as soon as you are able to in order to prevent delays in reimbursement and/or service provision.
Requirements for Recertification
- Current background check (BCI) if not enrolled in RapBack (Most providers are enrolled in RapBack. If you are not sure, please contact the Medina County Board of DD).
- FBI background check if not a resident of Ohio for the previous 5 years, regardless of RapBack enrollment
- CPR/First Aid Certification (current)
- Completion of annual required training
- Updated copy of State ID
If you are certified in transportation, you will also need:
- Current copy of Driver’s License
- Current copy of Car Insurance
- Current Driver’s Abstract, dated within 14 days of the date you are submitting your application
Note: Additional information may need to be submitted depending on the services you are certified to provide.
