This comprehensive fee covers all aspects of your North Carolina medical license application process from initial consultation through the North Carolina Medical Board (NCMB) submission.
Our North Carolina medical licensing services include:
The Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS) is an important component of physician licensing in North Carolina. Reviewing FCVS profiles is required for all physicians applying for a license in North Carolina through the North Carolina Medical Board (NCMB).
Our team works directly with the FCVS to set up and maintain the quality and accuracy of credential profiles. You do not need to worry about delays or issues with document verification during the North Carolina medical license application process, as we handle all communications with the FCVS on your behalf.
Aside from the issuance of a North Carolina physician license, you must obtain North Carolina Controlled Substances Reporting System (CSRS) registration to prescribe controlled medications in North Carolina. Additionally, you will need a DEA Charlotte Field Division registration for federal prescribing authority and a North Carolina Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) registration.
As part of our full-service North Carolina medical licensing, we handle the entire process of registering with the North Carolina Controlled Substances Reporting System. The North Carolina PMP registration process integrates with your CSRS registration to give you full prescribing authority and ensure you maintain medication tracking.
Some doctors should be aware that they need three different credentials to fully prescribe controlled substances in North Carolina: DEA Charlotte Field Division registration, North Carolina Controlled Substances Reporting System (CSRS) registration, and North Carolina PMP registration. We handle all three applications at the same time as your medical license application to make sure that your practice can start running at full capacity upon license issuance.
Obtaining a medical license in North Carolina through our service usually takes between 2 and 4 months, from the time you send in your application to the time you get your license. This schedule demonstrates the standard background and credential checks that the state requires, as well as the FCVS review, processing of North Carolina’s physician background check requirements, and quality assurance by the North Carolina Medical Board (NCMB).
