If you passed the test, you're not a technician - you're a therapist. And if you want to go through all the crap for insurance, you most certainly can. This involves getting an NPI number, then contacting EACH insurance company you want to be a provider for, get a number from each of them, then WAIT....and wait. It'll take at least several weeks, if not months, so go through the approval process. Make sure you have your license, liability insurance, etc up to date. But the long and the short of it is, yes, you can. But it takes time and perseverance.
