License Renewal Changes for 2013

The Department of Health, Division of Medical Quality Assurance, would like to announce an exciting new approach to license renewal.

In an effort to streamline processes, MQA will now verify a practitioner's continuing education record in the electronic tracking system at the time of renewal. Practitioners will be able to view their course history in the continuing education tracking system free of charge.

If the practitioner's continuing education records are complete, they will continue the renewal process without interruption.

If the practitioner's continuing education records are not complete, they will be prompted to enter their remaining continuing education hours before proceeding with their license renewal.

As an approved continuing education provider it is now more important than ever for your organization to report course completion credits to the electronic tracking system as quickly as possible. For information regarding all the different reporting options please login to your provider account or contact the CE Broker help desk at 1-877-434-6323 for more information.

The projected release date for the new approach to license renewal is January 2013. For more information please visitwww.CEatRenewal.com you do not need to sign up and pay for CEBroker to manage your CE credits. Just keep great files and know you will have to enter the data if not recorded in your renewal CE page beginning January 2013.

Bottom Line: you do not have to pay to enroll on CEBroker. They offer a free basic service where your Florida CE provider will submit to CE broker for you. If you use that service it will be updated for you in your MQA file. You can keep your own files and update your own at renewal time! Most of the national or out of state CE hrs you gather will need to be self-entered at some point for your license renewal!
