The MO HealthNet Division (MHD) is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus. The virus has been named "SARS-CoV-2" and the disease it causes has been named "coronavirus disease 2019" (abbreviated "COVID-19").
The MHD recognizes that testing centers that administer the test required for the Registered Behavior Technician® credential are closed as of March 16, 2020 due to COVID-19.
During this event, MHD will waive the RBT requirement for technicians who meet all other requirements but have not yet taken the RBT exam. Technicians must work under the supervision of a licensed behavior analyst and the supervisory relationship must be documented in writing.
MHD has established an e-mail account for providers with questions about special accommodations and billing questions during the COVID-19 event. Please contact us at mhd.covid-19@dss.mo.gov
