Chiropractic Physicians Can Now Renew Licenses Online
OKLAHOMA CITY – August 30, 2007 – The Oklahoma State Board of Chiropractic Examiners recently launched a new service allowing chiropractic physicians to renew their licenses online at the state of Oklahoma’s official Web site, OK.gov (http://www.ok.gov). Chiropractic physicians can find the new service at http://www.chirorenewal.ok.gov.
“The new online license renewal process greatly reduces the amount of paper required to administer the license renewal process,” said Beth Carter, executive director of the Board of Chiropractic Examiners. “We are excited about the opportunity to provide a more efficient, user-friendly, license-renewal process to chiropractors.”
The renewal process allows licensees to pay online with Visa, MasterCard and electronic check payments using OK.gov’s secure payment engine. Upon completing the renewal process and approval from the board, licensees can print their certificates, thus reducing mailing and printing costs for the state. As a result of the online license renewal system, the board estimates about $5,000 and 160 employee hours will be saved in the first renewal cycle alone.
The online service is a product of a partnership between the Board of Chiropractic Examiners and OK.gov, Oklahoma’s Official Web site managed by the eGovernment firm, NIC Inc. (Nasdaq: EGOV). The board’s
mission is to regulate the qualification for licensure and examination of chiropractors, approve educational programs required for annual license renewal and to foster higher professional standards relative to the practice of chiropractic in Oklahoma as is consistent with the best interest of the health, welfare, and safety of the public.
