Is your health care
practitioner licensed? You may use our License
Verification Screen to search. The best results often occur when the system receives the
least amount of information. Some techniques include only providing the county where the practitioner is located or the
last name or the first letter of his name, or select
a profession. If licensee is one of our profiled professions, there will be a
link at the upper right portion of the screen that says "Link
to Practitioner Profile." This
will take you to practitioner reported information about their
education, specialty certification, etc.
