Important Notes:

If you are currently a licensed OT in another state, it may take 1-3 months to get a Georgia license.

Only after

1. Receiving a Georgia License (1-3 months)

2. After accepting a job position with Sonshine we can begin the insurance credentialing process. Credentialing can take as long as 4 months to complete. It is a required process for all medical facilities. If any employer offers to employee you more quickly they are not completing the required insurance credentialing process.

As a licensed professional it is very important to plan 4 months ahead for an in state change and 6 months in advance for an out of state change. If you begin work with us sooner, it will take 90 days to get to a full schedule as we add patients as each insurance is approved.
