Why can’t I register my NCT permit and my NCT registry at the same time?
In the 2017 legislative session, SB 674 changed the law so that the Texas Medical Board is no longer required to register NCTs who work for physicians. What remains is the requirement that NCTs obtain placement on the MRT Board’s general registry, or have an approved a hardship exemption, prior to starting practice.
The NCT Registry and the NCT Permit were renewed separately. Under current rules and regulations, the NCT registry is on a biennial (2 year) renewal schedule. Before elimination by statutory changes, the NCT permit was an annual renewal.
You will need to continue to renew your NCT Registry listing or hardship exemption to continue to practice as an NCT in Texas.
