Licensure Renewal

All licensed clinical perfusionists must renew their licenses to be able to legally continue in practice. License renewal is governed by the following: (1) The due date for license renewal is its expiration date which is the last day of the month in which a license holder’s birthday falls pursuant to the Division of Health Related Boards “biennial birthdate renewal system” pursuant to rule 1200-10-01-.10. (2) Methods of Renewal - licensees may accomplish renewal by one of the following methods: (a) Internet Renewals - Individuals may apply for renewal via the Internet. The application to renew can be accessed at: https://apps.tn.gov/hlrs/ (b) Paper Renewals - Licensees who have not renewed their authorization online via the Internet, will have a renewal application form mailed to them at the last address provided by them to the Committee. Failure to receive such notification does not relieve the individual of the responsibility of timely meeting all requirements for renewal. To be eligible for renewal a licensee must submit to the Division of Health Related Boards on or before the license’s expiration date the following: 1. A completed and signed renewal application form. 2. The renewal and state regulatory fees as provided in Rule 0880-11-.06. (3) Any renewal application received after the expiration date but before the last day of the month following the expiration date must be accompanied by the Late Renewal Fee provided in Rule 0880-11-.06. (4) Any individual who fails to comply with the license renewal rules and/or notifications sent to them concerning failure to timely renew shall have their license processed pursuant to rule 1200-10-01-.10.
