In this episode NBCRNA Communications Associate Brent Novosel sits down with John Preston, NBCRNA's Chief Credentialing officer to discuss the quick and easy process known as the 2-year Check-in. The 2-year Check-in is the next step in the CPC Program for many CRNAs. We hope you enjoy this episode and find the information valuable. For more information visit the 2-year Check-in page.

 

About the 2-year Check-in

Under the former "recertification" program, CRNAs came back every two years. That check-in and billing timing stays the same under the Continued Professional Certification (CPC) Program. Though the continuing education periods in the CPC Program are divided into two 4-year cycles, you will check in every two years to continue the timing that has worked for CRNAs in the past. 

The 2-year Check-in will be a simple, online process to:

  • validate your state licensure*
  • confirm continuing practice**
  • update your contact information
  • review your progress towards CPC Program compliance and make plans for the next two years
  • pay the $110 credentialing fee (the same amount as in the past)
