COVID-19: Registered Behavior Technician

On March 20, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak and due to the closure of testing centers administering the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) exam, the MO HealthNet Division (MHD) published a provider hot tip temporarily waiving the RBT requirement for technicians who met all other requirements but had not taken the RBT exam.

The COVID Public Health Emergency will expire on May 11, 2023. Effective May 12, 2023, this requirement will no longer be waived.
