What does it cost

[msc545]

How much do you pay in your state for license renewal, and how often? Here in California, we now pay $ 500 every two years, but we also now get snazzy new plastic licenses with our names printed on them. We used to get paper licenses that had to be cut out carefully from a sheet of paper for only ~ $400.

In the two states in which I'm licensed, fees are about $200 and about $150 every two years.

I’m not happy about the huge fee increase. I pay $430, though I think, because there’s some added fee that they pretend isn’t part of the licensing cost I thought. It’ll be $530 for me next cycle.

I hope this means that they can afford to hire enough people to complete paperwork in a timely manner and actually respond to emails rather than just attempting to micromanage our practices via adding more types of CE requirements that are time-consuming and rejecting PSYPACT! But I know better.

You are right - $530 in CA now.

So long as our malpractice rates are 1/15th- 1/30th of physicians'...I'm happy to quietly pay whatever anyone wants

$226 when I renewed in Colorado not too long ago, good for 2 years

$350 every two years, or $125 for life if you sign over your firstborn. Pays for itself within a few years!

One state is $300 every two years, and the other is $226 every year.

Yeesh, $390 annually. I need to move to a red state.

Yikes, do they at least give you a badge and a gun with your license for that price?

No, just a vile of CBD oil, if that tips you off.

No, but they do give you a periodic "enforcement bulletin" so you can see what happens to people who mess up.

My board does a great job of putting our complaint screening meeting audio online. I LOVE to put them on while mowing and stuff. Our board is laughably inconsistent with punishments. I would love to sit on it, but they only make like 20 dollars an hour.
