Continuing Professional Credit (CPC) Maintenance Requirement

To maintain your REBC, RHU, or ChHC designation, you must complete 24 hours of Continuing Professional Credit (CPC) every two years. This requirement applies whether you hold one or multiple designations, only 24 total hours are needed. NABIP no longer tracks continuing education (CE) documentation. Instead, designees are required to submit a signed attestation confirming they have met the CE requirements. It is the responsibility of each designation holder to ensure their ongoing compliance.

Continuing Professional Credit (CPC) Guidelines

To maintain your REBC, RHU, or ChHC designation, you are required to complete 24 hours of Continuing Professional Credit (CPC) every two years. If you hold multiple designations, the same 24 hours will satisfy the requirement for all of them. CPCs must relate to REBC, RHU and ChHC designation curriculum content areas and be supported by documentation which verifies participation in the activity.

CPC credits may be earned through a variety of high-quality educational experiences, including:

• Classroom or online programs approved by a state Department of Insurance (DOI)
• Courses offered by accredited educational institutions overseen by a governing board
• Industry conferences or e-learning sessions that meet continuing education standards

One CPC credit is awarded for each 50-minute hour of qualifying instruction. To ensure your credits are valid, be sure to retain appropriate documentation such as a certificate of completion or CE sign-in record.

As an added member benefit, NABIP offers a monthly Compliance Corner Webinar, which provides timely updates on key regulatory topics. Members who attend the live session and confirm participation are eligible to earn 1 CPC credit each month.

To maintain your designation, you’ll be prompted to submit a signed attestation confirming you’ve met the CPC requirement when completing your renewal payment. This streamlined, self-reporting process is designed to support your continued professional development while offering flexibility and ease of compliance.

Industry Speakers/Instructors Receive Credit for Presenting

You can receive credit for presenting a topic following NAIC guidelines to an audience of licensed professionals or students. Two credits per hour of actual teaching/presenting time can be claimed for the first time the class or seminar is conducted. For subsequent offerings of the same course or session, one credit per hour of actual teaching/presenting time can be claimed. No more than 15 hours of credit can be claimed within a reporting period.

Emeritus Status

Emeritus Status eliminates the CPC and renewal fee requirements for all NABIP governed designations held by an individual. When emeritus status is obtained, the individual’s designation(s) do not expire. Individuals who have met one of the requirements quality for emeritus status.

The requirements are that an individual has:

• Retired from the health insurance industry; or
• Received a nationally recognized industry achievement award, such as the NABIP Gordon Memorial Award or BenefitsPRO Broker of the Year Award.

To request emeritus status, fill out this form. Once your application is received, NABIP will contact you regarding your approval status.
