Your NHA CCMA renewal, punched.
An NHA CCMA lasts two years from the day it's issued. Put in your expiration date, log the CE as you go, and put the date on your calendar. NHA asks for 10 credits, and 2 hours of CE make 1 credit, so the card counts 20 hours. Free, no sign-up, and it all stays on this phone.

Everything here lives in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else. Keep the certificate for any CE you took outside NHA. Back it up before you switch phones or clear your browser.
How to renew
- Earn 10 CE credits during your two-year cycle. NHA counts 2 hours of CE as 1 credit, so log 20 hours here (an NHA course worth 1 credit is 2 hours). The CE has to be relevant to your field. NHA's own courses count, and so do outside programs. Extra credits don't carry over to the next cycle.
- Hold more than one NHA certification? The same 10 credits renew all of them. NHA: "if you hold three certifications, a total of 10 credits is required to renew all three certifications." Outside NHA One, each extra certification adds $65 to the fee.
- Get outside CE into your account. NHA CE is recorded for you. For anything else, upload the certificate of completion; NHA accepts only official documentation and usually reviews it within 5 business days.
- Renew. Log in at nhanow.com, choose Renew Certifications on the left menu of your dashboard, and pay the $195 renewal fee. On NHA One with the $95 yearly payment up to date, the renewal itself costs nothing extra.
- Work in California and train other medical assistants? The NHA Candidate Handbook sets a different rule for you: at least 60 CE hours every 5 years.
| Fee (NHA) | Amount |
|---|---|
| Renew, not on NHA One | $195 every 2 years |
| Each additional NHA certification | $65 |
| NHA One plan | $95 a year; renewal included |
| Reinstate, 30 days to 1 year late | $391.50 |
Reinstating is the $292.50 renewal fee plus a $99 reinstatement fee, with 15 credits. Fees: NHA's renewal page, Help Center and NHA One article.
If your date passes
- Under 30 days late: NHA says "you can still go through the normal renewal process without any additional fees."
- 30 days to a year late: you reinstate instead. That takes 15 CE credits (30 hours), the $292.50 renewal fee and a $99 reinstatement fee, $391.50 in all.
- More than a year: NHA says "you must retake your NHA certification exam."
