This state licensure fee includes the entire Florida medical licensure, from preliminary assessment through the Florida Board of Medicine submission.

To successfully obtain your physician license in Florida, a provider must satisfy the Florida medical license requirements set by the Florida Board of Medicine under the authority of the Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA). These regulations enable all healthcare workers to ensure patient safety and professional competency.
Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS) plays a unique role in the Florida licensing process. FCVS verification is required for all physicians seeking licensure in Florida through the Florida Board of Medicine.
Our team coordinates directly with the FCVS to establish and maintain your FCVS profile for Florida physicians at the highest standards. We handle all communications with the FCVS on your behalf, reducing delays and ensuring seamless credential verification throughout the entire licensing process.

One of the essential components of Florida physician licensing is the state’s fingerprinting and background-check process. The Florida DOH Background Screening Unit manages fingerprint verification through the Livescan portal as part of the physician’s background-check process.
Understanding the requirements for Florida fingerprinting verification and the Florida DOH Background Screening Unit’s oversight role is essential to prevent delays. We handle the entire Florida fingerprinting verification process, minimizing your direct involvement and ensuring error-free submission and timely FBI background verification.
In addition to your Florida physician’s licensure, you must comply with the requirements for Florida Controlled Substance Registration. This registration is needed to prescribe controlled substances in Florida. Additionally, you must register with the DEA Miami Field Division to be issued by a federal prescribing authority.
Our coordinated management of these credentials is included in our integrated license application service. With this, your practice can fully operate immediately upon the release of your license. This coordinated workflow prevents bottlenecks and addresses issues related to incomplete controlled substance registration.
