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.

Effective October 1, 2007, the Division of Medical Quality Assurance will begin scanning fingerprint cards and electronically submitting fingerprints to the FDLE/FBI for background screening. The FDLE/FBI fee is $48.00.

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.
