Licensing is a required process one must do, by which an agency of government regulates a profession. It grants permission to an individual to engage in an occupation.

It is important to note that although states may not explicitly require national certifications, they do have regulations determining the scope of practice for medical professionals, which can influence the tasks an uncertified medical professional can legally perform. 

Additionally, even if a state doesn’t legally mandate national certifications, employers often prefer or require medical professionals to be certified as it demonstrates a level of competency and may be necessary for their billing or accreditation purposes. 

Most employers prefer hiring medical professionals with national certifications. Regardless of the legal mandate, obtaining NCMA credentials can open doors to better job opportunities and professional growth.
