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.
MHD is temporarily extending the waiver of this requirement until November 11, 2023. MHD urges impacted individuals to schedule RBT exams as soon as possible in order to avoid any disruption to applied behavior analysis services. No further extensions of this flexibility will be considered.
Information about RBT testing is available here: https://www.bacb.com/examination-information/
