Experience

To be considered for NRRTS Registration an applicant must provide proof of at least one year of experience as a rehabilitation technology supplier.

A rehabilitation technology supplier is a specialist who:

  • Works for a medical equipment company that supplies rehabilitation equipment and employs support staff capable of providing ongoing service and consumer support; and 
  • Participates directly in the assessment process by offering product choices from multiple manufacturers, by offering product categories from different product lines, and provides pricing and funding information to the consumer and referral sources; and 
  • Works with manufacturers and/or custom fabricators to combine equipment features to meet specific client needs; and 
  • Provides fittings and deliveries as directed by the referring professional(s); and 
  • Provides clients with instruction in the safe use of the equipment, offers information on maintenance and care, passes on warranty information and supports the equipment supplied with timely, high-quality service.

    Recommendations

    Provide three recommendations from allied health professionals, e.g., physical therapists, occupational therapist, etc. who work in three different facilities. Referring professionals must currently work with applicant and have a working relationship with applicant for at least one year in duration. One of the referring professionals must be licensed or registered.

    All questions on the referral form, including the written comment section (#6), must be completed for the application to be processed. To assure the confidential nature of the referral, the referral form must be sent directly to the NRRTS office by the referring healthcare professional. Recommendations from your employer, fellow employees or manufacturers are unacceptable.

      An applicant must provide documentation to prove completion of at least 1.0 CEUs, 10 contact hours, of continuing education in the field of seating and wheeled mobility within the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the application.
