I have renewed my NBCOT certification and I intend to keep renewing it. My current employer requested it, and in order to become a provider on our (my employer's) insurance I think I had to have it. I am not sure if all insurance companies require NBCOT certification. Also, when a classmate of mine moved to Colorado after graduation and she had not taken her boards, she had a hard time getting a job because at that time (I don't know if this is still true), OT's were not licensed by the state and most employers would only hire an OTR. I don't know what the requirements are for the state in which you are licensed. Personally I figured that it was easier to maintain than to let it lapse and have to renew for whatever reason. Hope that I have been helpful. Breanne K. Hart, M.S. OTR/L Occupational Therapist Bay Medical Center --------------------------------------------------------
