Common questions
- How do I verify a respiratory therapist license?
- Verify with the state board that issued the license, using the board's own lookup rather than a copy of the license. This directory links the respiratory therapist lookup for every state and DC below; 45 states list a board specifically for this profession and the rest route through a unified state license search.
- Which certification boards cover respiratory therapists?
- National Board of Respiratory Care. Certification is verified directly with the certifying board, separately from the state license.
- Do I still need to check exclusion lists for a respiratory therapist?
- Yes. Every provider is checked against Medicare Opt-out Affidavits, OFAC Sanctions List Search, Revoked Medicare Providers and Suppliers, System for Award Management, and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General, plus the state Medicaid exclusion list where one is published. A valid license does not mean a provider is clear of exclusions.
