Board Now Recognizes Federation’s Credential Verification Service:
At its meeting held on February 20-21, 2004, the Board of Osteopathic Medicine
voted to allow physicians applying for licensure in Florida to utilize the
Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS) to obtain and report his/her
core medical credentials, in an effort to assist applicants for licensure
with their licensure process.
The FCVS is a primary source verification service. Participation in
the FCVS is not required for licensure. For information on how to
establish a permanent lifetime portfolio of primary source verified
information, please call the FCVS at (888) 275-3287 or visit their web
site at www.fsmb.org .

Dispensing Practitioner Registration:
Dispensing – is defined as selling medicinal drugs to patients in
the office. A practitioner who writes prescriptions or provides
complimentary professional samples is not a “dispensing
practitioner,” and therefore does not need to register with the
department.
The fee for registration as a dispensing practitioner is $100.00
over and above the required license renewal fee. Do not complete
the Dispensing Practitioner form unless you wish to sell medicinal
drugs from your office and comply with all inspection
requirements.
