Edit certifications 

Patients must have a new certification each time they renew their registration. You can edit an active certification during a patient’s registration period if you need to update information. If the certification is listed as “pending renewal,” "expired" or "revoked" you will not be able to make any changes.

If you created the provider certification and you only selected a disabling medical condition, it is possible to add additional time to the recommendation period.

   • Additional recommendation term length must be greater than 60 days. Total recommendation term length cannot exceed 365 days from the previous date the patient’s card was first approved.
