[HFDlist] Fwd: MA OEMS New Online Licensing System

[Ethan Naiman]

All EMS Providers,

Please see the below message from OEMS regarding an updated licensing  
system and website that went into effect yesterday. If you have  
already paid for your recert, you will not need to pay again, but all  
providers should login to the portal to link your certification. If  
you have not already paid your recert, it must be done through the new  
portal below.

  Hello MA EMS provider,

   

  As of today, January 29th at 12:00 PM, the Office of Emergency  
Medical Services has transitioned to a new online licensing system.  
Existing EMT Basics, Advanced EMTs, and EMT Paramedics, including  
pending initial or renewal applications, will need to create an  
account at  Health Professions Licensing Portal[1]. Once the account  
is created, select "Manage My Licenses and Applications" and use your  
certification number (including your prefix letter E, A, or P) and  
social security number to link your certification to your account. If  
this is your first time using the portal, please visit HEALTH  
PROFESSIONS LICENSING SYSTEM USER GUIDE[2]_._

   

  Those with pending initial applications, please contact   
oems.recert at mass.gov[3] in order to access.

  Certification applications, including the State Recertification  
Application and $125 fee (Step B) for those due to renew by  
03/31/2024, must be submitted on the HEALTH PROFESSIONS LICENSING  
PORTAL[1]. In addition, you will receive UPDATED EMT CARDS, update  
address information, and access your MA EMS information on the new  
online licensing system. 

  All EMTs will be required to create an account within the eLicensing  
portal linked above, and for EMTs due to renew by March 31, 2024, IF  
YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED YOUR STATE RECERTIFICATION APPLICATION AND  
FEE PRIOR TO JANUARY 29TH, YOU WILL _STILL NEED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT  
AND LINK YOUR CERTIFICATION, _but you _ will __NOT __need_ to resubmit  
your application and payment.

  If you have technical difficulties, please contact the eLicensing  
HelpDesk at (800) 414-0168, option 6 or   
dph.elicensing_support at mass.gov[4]. When calling, please ensure you  
have your MA EMT certification number ready.

  _ALL EDUCATION, FOR THOSE WITH OR WITHOUT NREMT CERTIFICATION, IS  
STILL TRACKED, UPLOADED, AND APPROVED ON NREMT.ORG._

   

  If you have any questions regarding EMS certification, please  
contact  oems.recert at mass.gov[3].

   

  Sincerely,

  Evan Paicopoulos
