X-ray Service Providers

Minnesota Statute, 144.121 requires individual Service Providers (not companies) of ionizing radiation-producing equipment and other sources of ionizing radiation must pay an initial or annual renewal fee of $115 to register with the Minnesota Department of Health. After MDH reviews and approves a completed registration form, Service Providers will have a certificate to carry with them to provide proof they are a registered Service Provider with the State of Minnesota. Service Providers must provide their certificate number on all signed work forms.
