Renewing, Adding, Updating or Removing a License

Providers can renew an active license with the same license number, add a new license with a different number, select an earlier expiration date of an existing license or remove a license that is not yet submitted.

If the license is from the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), an automatic lookup will be performed when the Issuing Authority and License # are entered. If a match is found in DORA, the Effective Date, Expiration Date and Issuing State will be retrieved and populated automatically.

Renewing a License

Providers can renew a license when the license number is the same as an existing active license record and there is a new effective/expiration date span. To renew a license, expand the drop-down that reads Click to add new license or renew existing license.

license panel

Select the license record to be renewed from the license record drop-down. Once the license record is selected, the information will automatically populate. The Effective Date, Expiration Date and Type fields can be edited.

Note: Effective and expiration dates cannot overlap with an existing record for the same license number.

Providers requiring a primary license type must indicate a license type as Primary. Providers not requiring a primary license may indicate a license type as Secondary. The expiration date may be changed to an earlier date than what is displayed. The license expiration date cannot be set past the currently approved Expiration Date.

Note: When a primary license is required, all spans should indicate active, and remain active even when the license has expired, for claims to process.
