OASAS Webinar on Part 853 Updates

OASAS is pleased to announce that the emergency regulatory updates to the Part 853 (Credentialing of Addictions Professionals) are proposed to go into effect on an emergency basis on September 26, 2023. When the regulation is filed OASAS will send out another notification. We invite you to join us for a live webinar to be held that morning from 9:00-10:00 am via the webinar information posted below.

After an introduction from Commissioner Cunningham, we will walk through the regulatory updates and other exciting changes including the development of an online Credentialing Management System (CMS) portal. When completed, the CMS will move all credentialing submissions and processing online and eliminate paper applications and mail. In addition, it will allow for direct communication with Credentialing staff related to your application or certificate/credential.

Some highlights from the regulatory updates include:

• Standardsfor a CASAC- Provisional certificate
• Optionto reinstate an expired credential
• Easierrenewal process
• Andmore!

All of these changes have been made in an effort to address some of the workforce challenges everyone has been facing. We hope you will join us.
