Maintenance of “ACTIVELY CERTIFIED” Status
Once “certified” or "recertified," the physician's name is listed in the referral directory — ACTIVE or INACTIVE — unless you were not re-certified since 1/1/04.
Starting January 1, 2004, anyone who had not thus far “recertified” needed to do so by January 1, 2007 (three years later) or be removed from the “ACTIVE CERTIFIED PHYSICIANS” directory until “re-certified” and placed on the “inactive” list.
After January 1, 2004, the newly certified Cox® Technic certified physician must take at least one course every two years to maintain his/her listing in the referral directory.
After January 1, 2007, all certified physicians must “re-certify” once every two years.
After “re-certifying”, the Cox® Technic physician must take at least one course every two years to maintain his/her listing in the referral directory OR write a case report and have it published (website or journal). If a doctor takes more than one course by the end of his/her two years, that is fine, but hours are not carried over. A recertification course must be taken in the last 24 months prior to the last date of the (re)certification.
Examples:
Currently on list in black since 1/1/04 (not RED). Re-certify by January 1, 2007.
Certified or recertified in November 2004: re-certify by January 1, 2007.
Certified or recertified in November 2005: re-certify by January 1, 2008.
Certified or recertified in November 2006: re-certify by January 1, 2009.
Certified or recertified in November 2007: re-certify by January 1, 2010.
Certify or recertify in November 2008: re-certify by January 1, 2011.
IF A DOCTOR WAS NOT RE-CERTIFIED, he/she is listed on the INACTIVE LIST of doctors until he/she gets re-certified.
* NOTE: Certification in Cox® Technic Flexion-Distraction and Decompression Adjustment & Manipulation (aka flexion-distraction) and listing in the referral directory is a responsibility as is maintenance of the listings as reliable. A patient seeking a practitioner who does this technique does so in hopes of finding a physician to care for his/her spinal condition with this technique on a flexion-distraction table. We strive to keep the listings accurate. Please keep in touch with us.
