I am waiting to take my national certification exam. Can I provide VR services under my supervisor, company, and/or facility practitioner approval number?
No. Qualified practitioners must be certified/registered prior to meeting with the injured worker. Individual must be verified as qualified pursuant to Maryland Workers’ Compensation Law LE§9-6A-09. Therefore, individuals who do not meet the qualified rehabilitation practitioner certification/ registration requirements and have not been assigned a Maryland Worker’s Compensation Rehabilitation Practitioner number should not be providing services to injured workers under any circumstances.
