Pay Your Technicians' Fees

Enroll in Direct Billing To Save Time and Money

Direct billing, a service offered by PTCB, is a simple way for employers and educators to pay for employees or students to earn or renew credentials. Using PTCB’s online portal, employers and educators may pay for credential exams, renewals, and/or the Pre-PTCE™.

Why Pay Your Technicians Fees?

  • Save time and money. Direct billing saves your time and provides a valuable set of benefits to support your technicians. 
  • No more reimbursements. Avoid the hassle of reimbursement paperwork by taking advantage of PTCB’s online process.
  • Everything is online. Access PTCB’s secure portal to manage your technician candidates’ eligibility and create confidential reporting to track exam results. 
  • There’s no fee to enroll. The only cost you incur is for exam or recertification fees of eligible candidates.

 

SPECIAL OFFER: $19 Pre-PTCE (Practice Exam) Vouchers
PTCB-Recognized Education/Training Programs and employers enrolled in direct billing save $10 off the regular price of $29. 

 

SPECIAL OFFER
For employers who pay their technicians’ Compounded Sterile Preparation Technician® (CSPT®) Certification Exam fees, PTCB waives the $50 CSPT application fee for every sponsored technician

 


“The more opportunities we give our technicians to advance, the better chance we have to retain motivated and dedicated technicians.”

How Direct Billing Works

PTCB offers organizations access to create vouchers on-demand and distribute them to eligible candidates in your organization for PTCB credentials, recertification**, or the Pre-PTCE.

Invoicing 
Enrolled organizations receive monthly invoices by email for candidates who took any of the credential exams, the Pre-PTCE, or for CPhTs who completed recertification during the previous month. If your organization is required to submit a purchase order, you will be invoiced upon our receipt of the purchase order. If your organization chooses to pre-pay for a pre-set number of vouchers, you will not receive a monthly invoice.

Payment
Enrolled organizations are provided access to Connect Booster, our invoicing platform, to pay with your preferred method of payment. There is no payment due at the time a candidate submits their application. If you choose to pre-pay for a pre-set number of vouchers, PTCB accepts the payment upfront in bulk and holds a credit on file. 

Please indicate that your organization requires purchase orders or prepayment when submitting your information on the form below.

**Vouchers must be created for each recertification period should your organization choose to pay for certification renewal.

We have the flexibility to work with your organization if you would like to build payment of the exam fee into your Learning Management System (LMS). For more information on this topic please submit your inquiry using the form below, indicating you would like to know more about LMS integration.
