Health Care Consultants

How to locate a Health Care Consultant

To locate a CCR&R in your area contact your licensor or registrar or visit the following website: http://www.ocfs.state.ny.us/main/childcare/referralagencys.asp. It is also important to note that under no circumstances is any provider required to use the health care consultant services offered by the CCR&R's. Providers may employ a private consultant.

Health care consultants must have a valid New York State license to practice as a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or registered nurse. The NYS Education Department, Office of the Professions will verify a consultant's license on line at: http://www.op.nysed.gov/opsearches.htm or you may contact the Office of Professions at:
