Reinstatement of an Inactive License—Physical Therapists

PURPOSE: This rule specifies the requirements physical therapists must follow to request reinstatement of a license that has been inactive. (1) All applicants shall make application for reinstatement of an inactive license upon a form prepared by the board. (2) No application will be considered unless fully and completely made out on the specified form and properly attested. (3) All applications shall be sent to the Missouri State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts, PO Box 4, Jefferson City, MO 65102. (4) All applicants for reinstatement of an inactive license must submit a fee as specified in 20 CSR 2150-3.080. (5) No application will be processed prior to the submission of the required fee in the appropriate form. (6) All applicants must submit an activity statement documenting all employment and professional and nonprofessional activities since the date the license was placed on inactive status. (7) All applicants shall have licensure, registration, or certification verification submitted from every jurisdiction in which the applicant has ever held privileges to practice as a physical therapist. This verification must be submitted directly from the licensing agency and include the type of license, registration, or certification, the issue and expiration date, and information concerning any disciplinary or investigative actions. If a licensing agency refuses or fails to provide verification, the board may consider other evidence of licensure. (8) An applicant for reinstatement of an inactive license, who has not actively practiced as a physical therapist in another jurisdiction throughout the period their Missouri license was inactive, shall submit upon request any documentation requested by the board necessary to verify that the applicant is competent to practice in Missouri. Such documentation may include sixty (60) hours of continuing education obtained within the four (4) years immediately preceding the issuance of the license and/or one (1) year of supervised practice and/or successful completion of the National Physical Therapy Examination. Any continuing education obtained pursuant to reissuance of a license shall be completely separate from continuing education that was previously counted towards mandatory continuing education when the applicant was previously licensed.
