Verbal verification of a diplomat's status can be provided over the telephone at no charge. ABEM can confirm if a physician is certified by ABEM, the dates of certification, and the certificate number. Callers must provide the physician’s name and either date of birth or last four digits of his or her Social Security number at the time of the request.
We have to email or call to obtain verification, as profiles are private on the board's website.
Called ABEM at 517-332-4800, extension 381 and spoke with Samantha, who said certain sub-specialties require the physician to maintain the emergency medicine specialty in order to be board certified. Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine requires this.
Effective January 1, 2015, the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) began recognizing physicians as “board eligible” for five years after they complete an Emergency Medicine residency training program. Physicians who have open certification applications on file with ABEM and those who graduated from Emergency Medicine residency training, but do not have open applications as of that date will also be designated as board eligible if their medical licensure status complies with ABEM policy.
Additional information about board eligibility can be found here. Please also see the FAQs on Board Eligibility and the ABEM Policy on Board Eligibility for more detailed information.
The certification process consists of two examinations, the Qualifying Examination and an Oral Certification Examination. A physician must pass the Qualifying Examination in order to be scheduled for an Oral Certification Examination. A physician must pass both examinations to become certified as an ABEM diplomate. Certification is for a period of ten years. Certificates are dated from the date of the examination results letter or December 31 of the year in which the physician took the examination, whichever is earlier, through December 31 ten years hence.
To verify, call the board with identifiers for status.
Must maintain primary specialty in order to have an active sub-specialty

NOTES ON WEBSITE:
Most diplomates certified prior to 1990 are not required to participate in MOC but are strongly encouraged to do so.
All ABIM certifications issued in 1990 (1987 for critical care medicine and 1988 for geriatric medicine) and thereafter must be maintained through ABIM's MOC program.
ABIM's website serves as primary source verification
Diplomates are publicly reported as participating in MOC for all certifications as long as they are participating in MOC for one certification area.
Certification status is updated to this system within 5 days of notification to the physicians. Data elements, such as name changes, are updated in ABIM's records within 24 hours of being processed by ABIM.
As of July 2012, the American Board of Internal Medicine considers all internal medicine and sub-specialist physicians who have met the standards for Board Certification in general internal medicine or any of its sub-specialties to be “Board Eligible” in the relevant specialty for a period of seven years. The seven-year period of Board Eligibility shall begin upon the candidate's successful completion of the initial certification requirements in their field or July 1, 2012, whichever is later. During the period of Board Eligibility, the candidate may apply for the certifying examination in the relevant specialty. If the candidate does not become Board Certified during the seven-year period of Board Eligibility, the candidate will no longer be deemed “Board Eligible” and may no longer represent himself or herself as “Board Eligible.”

Web search by name--last name required. Results list: Name, Certification status (like certified--holds a non time-limited certificate) and Certification History (like 1991). There is no certificate to download/print.
HOW TO INTERPRET CERTIFICATION STATUS:
Certified (Non Time-Limited) = Non time-limited certificates awarded prior to 1992 do not require recertification. However, the ABO encourages all diplomats to voluntarily renew certificates and participate in Maintenance of Certification.
Certified (Time-Limited) = Diplomats certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology after 1992 are certified for a period of 10 years. Their certificates are renewed by completing the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) process.
MOC is required ONLY for diplomats certified AFTER 1992.
The ABO is the primary resource for verifying that an ophthalmologist is certified. If your organization requires written verification of a physician's certification, please submit a request to the ABO Office that includes the physician's name and a check in the amount of $35 made payable to the American Board of Ophthalmology.

Per Kenia with ABO/NCLE on 7/25/2024: "Our searchable database is all up to date now. I know ever since we were in the transition from our old system to our new system, some expiration dates weren’t showing up on the online database, but everything is all up to date now. What you see on the database, is what they are currently certified as. If you don’t see an expiration date, then they are not certified. Or they can also be in the process of taking the exam as well. Just like the candidate on the list, Chelsey Medsker, she just recently passed the exam, and her expiration date was just updated yesterday, so you should be able to see her expiration date on the database now. If you do come upon a candidate that is stating they are certified and you don’t locate their information on the database, I can definitely verify those for you."
Also confirmed on 7/25/2024 that the ABO/NCLE website does not show inactive/expired certifications. If the provider's certification cannot be located on the board's site, please send the order to follow up and add the order info to the follow up doc. We will send one mass email weekly on Wednesday with the entire list to avoid sending too many emails to the board. Email one request per week on Wednesday with the full list for all certification verification to Kenia - mail@abo-ncle.org. Make sure to provide the board with the name of the provider, any possible last names, and the city and state.

American Board of Pathology has updated their website, we can now purchase verifications directly from the VERIFYING CERTIFICATION STATUS page. Click on "Verification Request & Credit Card Authorization Forms" link to go to the AMERICAN BOARD OF PATHOLOGY VERIFICATION OF CERTIFICATION REQUEST FORM. - Rose 9/8/2022
The American Board of Pathology (ABPath) is currently developing a primary source, online verification program that can be accessed through this website at no cost. Until this program is available, primary source verification of certification status for our diplomats can be requested for a $35 processing fee for each verification.
Credentialing status info: The American Board of Pathology (ABP) has implemented Continuing Maintenance of Certification (MOC) and therefore no longer issues certificates with specific end dates. We recognize that some entities may still require a certification end date to complete primary-source verification. To assist in this process, we encourage credentialing administrators to utilize an annual re-verification date of January 31st each year.
An ABP diplomats certification status can only change at the beginning of each year, unless certification is revoked for disciplinary reasons. Therefore, by using the annual re-verification date of January 31st, you will have accurate information about a diplomats current certification status.
The ABP is currently developing a primary source, online certification verification program that can be accessed on our website at no cost. Until this program is available, primary source verification of certification status for our diplomat's can be requested for a $35 processing fee for each verification.
The Verification of Certification Request Form is accessible from our website (www.abpath.org). Requires physician's last, first, middle names & SSN.
INFO: Certifications issued by the ABP prior to 1/1/2006 are non-time limited (or lifetime) certificates and do not require participation in the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. These diplomates may opt to voluntarily participate in the MOC program. Certifications issued by the ABP after 1/1/2006 require current participation in the MOC program to remain valid. The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) online verification of certification status website (http://www.certificationmatters.org/) includes ABP diplomats at no charge to the public.

Allmed Board Certs: American Board of Pediatrics (ABP): Board certification verifications verified through ABP do not include a full certification date or an expiration date. As of 3/31/2023 for Allmed, for the Effective/Certification Date we will use February 15th for the month and day and the Certification Year listed on the verification. Example Issue Date: For an ABP board cert verification with a Certification Year of 2022, we will capture the Effective/Certification Date as 2/15/2022. For the Expiration Date, we will use February 15th for the month and day and the following year for the expiration date, in order to monitor their Board Certs on an annual basis. Example Expiration Date: For an ABP board cert verification completed on 3/29/2023, we will capture the expiration date as 2/15/2024.
Per Nathan Clark, The American Board of Pediatrics Senior MOC Administrator: "Only physicians who are currently board certified and in good standing will display."
05/10/2016:This board lists currently certified diplomats only and will not verify expired board certifications. If you can't find a specialty, call and the board will say if the provider is certified or not certified. To obtain additional information or formal verification, we need to have the physician sign & date their specific release form (and have the record sent to Verisys) and pay $40 by check or money order.
07/14/2016: Was told by receptionist that this board will not even verify the status of Certified or Not Certified over the phone. She said the requirements for this board are to be certified in General Peds first, then the physician can become certified in a sub-specialty. The physician is allowed to let the General Peds board cert expire while maintaining an active sub-specialty board cert.

WEB NOTE: The Verification of Certification page on this Web site is consistent with Joint Commission, National Committee for Quality Assurance, and other standards for primary source verification, for diplomats currently certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. All certification information is drawn directly from our certification database and is updated each business day.
CREDENTIALING MEMO:
The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) no longer issues certificates with specific end dates, but it recognizes that some entities may still require a certification end date to complete primary-source verification. To assist in this process, we encourage credentialers to utilize an annual re-verification date of February 15 each year.
Please note, this date is not necessarily reflective of individual MOC requirements, nor does it indicate certification or MOC cycle end dates.
An ABP diplomats certification status will only change at the beginning of a specified year, unless a certificate is revoked for disciplinary reasons. Therefore, by utilizing the annual re-verification date suggested, you will have accurate information about a diplomats current certification status. In addition, diplomats now have the ability to download documentation regarding their current certification status via their online ABP portfolio.
Permanent certificate holders are not obligated to participate in MOC to remain certified by the ABP; however, those who have chosen to participate are designated as “meeting the requirements of MOC” on the verification section of the ABP Web site.

If the verification returns as 'Certified- Not Meeting MOC Requirements', we no longer need to contact ABPN, if the provider is currently Certified. (for CVS process - 9/3/2020) Per CVS on 9/3/20: "You can go off the website. If it shows “Certified-not meeting MOC”, there will be no need to call the board. The ABPN will update their website to “Not Certified” if the provider has not met those requirements of MOC. The providers have 2- three year blocks to complete the requirements before the board changes that status to “Not Certified”. They give them a fairly lengthy time to complete the CMEs and other requirements before they change that status to “inactive”. They will change that status to “not certified” immediately on the web verification if after that 6 years they have not completed all requirements. So a verification of “Certified, Not Meeting MOC” is acceptable just like that (they have an active certification status and MOC requirements are currently not being met) and does not need further clarification/verification from the ABPN. The analyst can just make that note on the spreadsheet and continue onto the next provider."
6/11/2020: Per Amanda (MOC manager) at ABPN: Board Certification is contingent upon keeping up-to-date with the certification requirements per 3-year block, as well as passing a recertification exam every ten years for each specialty cert that they wish to maintain. If a diplomat does not complete the certification requirements after the first 3-year block, then their certification status is changed to 'Certified- not meeting certification requirements'. If they then complete/catch up with the requirements, their status changes back to 'Certified- meeting certification requirements'. If a diplomat does not complete the requirements after two 3-year blocks (6 years), then they would be listed as 'Not Certified' during PSV.
WEB MEMO FOR CREDENTIALERS: As of January 2012, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) implemented new certification standards which specify that ongoing certification with ABPN is contingent upon meeting the requirements of Maintenance of Certification (MOC). Once a diplomate is certified or their current, time-limited certificate expires, these individuals are required to enroll in the Continuous Maintenance of Certification Program (C-MOC) and successfully complete specific requirements throughout ongoing MOC cycles to maintain certification. Accordingly, the ABPN no longer issues certificates with specific end dates to certification.
Utilizing an Annual Re-Verification Date: The ABPN recognizes that some entities may still require a certification end date to complete verification. To assist in this process, we encourage credentialers to utilize an annual re-verification date of March 1st in any given year. Please note, this date is not necessarily reflective of individual MOC requirements, nor does it indicate certification or MOC cycle end dates.
ABPN diplomate certification status will only change at the beginning of a specific year unless a certificate is invalidated or revoked for disciplinary reasons. Therefore, by utilizing the annual re-verification date suggested, you will have accurate information about diplomate’s current certification status via the ABPN verifyCERT™ web site.
Lifetime Certification: Lifetime certificate holders are not required to participate in MOC to remain certified by ABPN; however, those who have chosen to participate are designated as “meeting MOC requirements” on the ABPN verifyCERT™ web site.
Web search options: Diplomate Name, Number, SSN or Specialty/location.
The ABPN issues specialty certificates in psychiatry, neurology, and neurology with special qualification in child neurology.
Diplomates certified in a specialty may also achieve certification in a subspecialty. The ABPN issues sub-specialty certificates in addiction psychiatry, brain injury medicine, child and adolescent psychiatry, clinical neurophysiology, epilepsy, forensic psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, hospice and palliative medicine, neuromuscular medicine (beginning in 2008), neurodevelopmental disabilities, pain medicine, psychosomatic medicine, sleep medicine and vascular neurology.

INITIAL CERTIFICATION: Certification is valid for a period of ten years, subject to Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Beginning in 2007, those physicians who become certified or re-certified will enter MOC, during which a physician must successfully complete certain requirements every two years.
Candidates have six years from the end of residency to complete the components of the certification process to become a Diplomate. An applicant will have no more than three attempts to pass the Qualifying (Part 1) Examination and no more than three attempts to pass the Certifying (Part 2) Examination. Applicants who have not successfully completed the certification process within six years of completion of their urology residency or who have failed either the Qualifying (Part 1) Examination or Certifying (Part 2) Examination three times must repeat and successfully complete the urology portion of an ACGME accredited urology residency program in order to re-enter the certification process.
RECERTIFICATION: All physicians certified in 1985 or later must complete the recertification process to maintain certification as a Diplomate of the American Board of Urology. Physicians who were certified prior to 1985, are not required to undergo recertification, but may opt to do so voluntarily. Physicians who are clinically inactive may choose to maintain certification with a clinically inactive status. All Trustees of the Board must complete the entire recertification process during their tenure.
As with certification, recertification is valid for ten-years, extending by a decade the expiration date of the original or previously re-certified certificate, subject to Maintenance of Certification (MOC). Prior to certificate expiration, physicians are offered, by invitational letter, three separate opportunities to re-certify. For example, physicians who originally certified in 1989 may elect to sit for the recertification examination in October of 2016, 2017 or 2018, before expiration of their current certificate in February of 2019. In such case, regardless of which year is selected, the recertification certificate will then have a 10 year extended expiration date of February 28, 2029, subject to MOC.
3/31/2020 - Kaylynn confirmed with Board that an electronically signed ROI is acceptable.

You would need to call to obtain any other info. If you have the certificate, it provides a certificate number and 'certification valid through' day/month/year.
Treat this as an ""other certification"" in CheckMedic and the status will be 'self-reported'.
http://www.abwms.org/certified.aspx
1-20-2017 call to the American Board of Wound Medicine and Surgery yields the following information:
At this time, they are NOT a recognized board for formal ABMS Board Certifications or NCQA Standards.
They are relatively new in the field, and created in 2011. They are trying to setup Fellowships for this area and gain interest in their field. They are trying to get AMBS Board Specialties to add them as a sub-specialty, but that has not yet happened. As such, this is not a Board recognized by the ABMS.
We can add it to our Board Cert table, and add notes to inform that it is not recognized by the ABMS or its Member Boards, or the NCQA. Informational & Educational only, as well as where to add it in the MedPass

https://appliedsportpsych.org/certification/find-a-consultant/
**1/13/2021: Since the Board only lists the Year of initial certification and re-certification, leave the issue date blank. For the expiration, we have confirmed with Emily Schoenbaechler from the board that all certifications expire on 11/30 of the re-certification year listed. They are behind on renewals and they have extended those to 01/31/2021. So on those ones you can put 01/31/2021 as the expiration and add the following note to the top of the notes: *Per the Association for Applied Sport Psychology they are behind on renewals and have extended the 2020 ones to 01/31/2021.
CMPC® Emeritus: Persons who have been an active CMPC® for at least 10 years and remained in good standing are eligible for the Emeritus status. The distinction is conferred by the Certification Council who affirms that the consultant has met all eligibility requirements. (Providers on the Emeritus list are inactive)
CMPC Emeriti webpage: https://appliedsportpsych.org/certification/cmpc-emeriti/
Per correspondence with the Association for Applied Sports Psychology on 12/10/2024: Many CMPCs up for renewal this year are currently in review as of December 1. They are not expired at this time. Renewal decisions will be released in January 2025. Reviews do not begin until right after the 11/30/24 submission deadline, so nothing is delayed, this is the just process and timeline for CMPC recertification reviews. Anyone due to renew in 2024 who did not apply by 11/30/24, or in our designated late application period of December 1-31, 2024, would be moved to Expired Status the first week of January 2025.
Process for the CMPC Board Certs completed through 12/31/2024: If the CMPC Board Cert is verified with an expiration date of 11/30/2024 - 12/31/2024, complete the order with a Verified Status of Active and an expiration date of 01/01/2025. Add the following clipping to the Verification Notes:
AASP is currently reviewing and renewing their Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) renewal applications, as of 12/01/2024. The Board Certification will be renewed by 01/01/2025, if the provider has submitted their renewal application. Per AASP, the Board Cert is active through 01//01/2025, while the renewal is in process.

FAQ CERT MATTERS: How can I verify a doctor's Board Certification for professional use?
Board Certification information contained in the "Is Your Doctor Certified" search feature is officially recognized ABMS data. Individuals listed are currently certified in the areas of specialization and sub-specialization as noted. Commercial use of such data, for example to satisfy National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and The Joint Commission (TJC) requirements, generally requires not only verification of Board Certification, but also the dates of Board Certification. ABMS makes primary source data available in online services available from licensed partners. Information from these online services is accepted by TJC, NCQA, URAC and other accrediting organizations. Please contact our partners for additional information on their offerings:

*The Integrated National Board Dental Examination is an examination organization, not a verifying board.
The Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INBDE) is a new written, cognitive examination for dental licensure scheduled to replace the current National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) Part I and Part II examinations no sooner than August 2020.
It is referred to as an “integrated” exam because it combines content from several disciplines, and test takers must integrate their knowledge of science with the clinical know-how involved in the safe practice of dentistry to answer many of the test items.
The INBDE has the same overall purpose as the NBDE Part I and Part II: to assist state boards of dentistry in evaluating candidates for dental licensure. By integrating content covering the basic, behavioral, and clinical sciences, the INBDE is expected to be more relevant than the current NBDE Part I and Part II examinations.

The Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (JCNDE) administers several standardized exams to evaluate the preparedness of individuals for the study and practice of dentistry and dental hygiene. They include the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) Part II, the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination (NBDHE), and two new examinations which have recently launched: the Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INBDE) and the Dental Licensure Objective Structured Clinical Examination (DLOSCE). The DLOSCE launched in June 2020 and applications are available.
The INBDE, is also available. It is a written cognitive examination for dental licensure. This exam has replaced the NBDE Part I and will replace Part II when it is discontinued on August 1, 2022.
The purpose of the National Board Examinations (Part II, and Dental Hygiene) is to assist state boards in determining qualifications of dentists and dental hygienists who seek licensure to practice dentistry and dental hygiene. These examinations assess the ability to understand important information from basic biomedical and dental or dental hygiene sciences, and also the ability to apply such information in a problem-solving context.
Specific dental and dental hygiene licensure requirements vary among jurisdictions, but all jurisdictions have three basic requirements: an educational requirement, a written examination requirement and a clinical examination requirement. At a minimum you must successfully complete all three to fulfill basic licensure requirements.

*There is currently an issue with NHA where they are incorrectly linking providers under Alaska (AK). If the provider does not return when searching under their MP or Piidat States, we need to also search under Alaska (AK) to locate the provider's board cert. (1/3/2023)
If you need to obtain the expiration date to verify an order, use the contact us and the chat function to obtain the expiration date.
Make sure the pdf shows the entire certification before attaching it to the order.
Per live chat with Maria from NHA: CPhT is the older certification that we used to offer and ExCPT is what we offer now. Both of these are credential types for Pharmacy Technicians. (12/11/2018)
Some states REQUIRE Pharmacy Technicians to be certified to obtain a state license. Most recognize PTCB certification, but the other certification is the NHA's ExCPT exam.
To become a certified Pharmacy Tech (CPhT), they sit for the NHA's ExCPT exam.
To verify, must have last name, certification number and expiration date.
