Montana Alternative Health Care Board

License Information

All licenses offered by this board are subject to primary source verification, meaning we require that transcripts and exam scores be sent directly from the issuing authorities, not forwarded by the applicant.

Checklists

Licensure requirements can be found in these checklists:

Fees

Fees are listed in Administrative Rules of Montana 24.111.401.

Continuing Education

Continuing education requirements are listed in Subchapter 24.111.21.

Renewal

Each license must be renewed by the dates in Administrative Rules of Montana 24.101.413.

  • Naturopathic Physician: April 30 (annually)
  • Direct-Entry Midwife: April 30 (annually)
  • Apprentice Midwife: April 30 (annually)
  • Acupuncturist: October 31 (biennially)

The renewal period for each license type opens 60 days before its renewal date.

Late renewals require an additional late fee for each missed year. Suspended and inactive licenses must still be renewed.

Licenses not renewed on time are considered lapsed for 45 days after the renewal date, during which time the licensee may still practice. After 45 days, the license is expired, and the licensee may not practice.

Lapsed and expired licenses may be renewed up to two years past the renewal date. After two years, the license terminates and may not be renewed.

A new application may not be submitted if there is an existing license that is not terminated.
