What to look for
Active status
The license should show “Active” or “Current.” Any status like “Expired,” “Suspended,” or “Restricted” means the provider may not be legally authorized to practice.
Disciplinary history
Check for any formal disciplinary actions, consent orders, or restrictions. A clean record is expected; multiple actions are a warning sign worth investigating further.
License type
Confirm the provider holds a license type appropriate for the procedure: MD, DO, PA, NP, or RN. Different license types have different scopes of practice and supervision requirements.
Board certification (separate from state license)
Board certification indicates a provider completed an accredited residency and passed specialty examinations. Verify board certification through the American Board of Medical Specialties:
