RCC re-certification is due every two years. An RCC may recertify by either retaking the examination or by obtaining continuing education credits (CEU) in radiology coding. For information on re-certification by CEUs, please refer to the section entitled, "Re-certification by Continuing Education". The rules for recertification by examination are as follows:

You must recertify by the examination date offered prior to the expiration date of your current certification. Current certification expires two years from the date you become certified or recertified. It is your responsibility to keep track of your certificate expiration and apply for re-certification accordingly.

Applications for re-certification by examination must be received at RCCB® at least 60 days prior to the examination date offered before the expiration date of your current certification. Please mail your application to RCCB®, 10300 Eaton Place, Suite 460, Fairfax, VA 22030 via a traceable method such as Federal Express or certified mail. Please be aware that the RCCB® Board is not responsible for applications not delivered by the deadline or lost in the mail. Applications that do not arrive by the deadline will be subject to the late registration fee. You may also fax your application to 703.621.3356.

A late registration fee of $50 is applied to applications received three weeks to 30 days prior to the examination date. Applications received within three weeks of the examination date will not be accepted.
