Great Dialysis Technician
We’ve Got the Best Dialysis Technicians!
Honoring Our CCHTs and CCHT-As

If you are a dialysis technician, we hope you got the recognition you deserve during the National Association of Nephrology Technicians/Technologists (NANT) National Dialysis Technician Recognition Week earlier this month.

 

NNCC applauds your dedication to your patients and your life-saving work. We are honored and grateful that you continue to trust us for your certification needs!

 
Covid19
HHS Renews COVID-19
Public Health Emergency for 7th Time
The COVID-19 public health emergency was extended on October 18 by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for at least another 90 days. The agency first declared the pandemic a public health emergency on January 31, 2020, and has since renewed it continuously.
 
What does this mean for you and your certification? If you’re due to certify or recertify, this requirement will be waived by the Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) during this period. For more details on the waiver and its impact on your dialysis certification, read the NNCC FAQs Regarding CMS Waiver and Certification Credentials.
