Frequently Asked Questions, Physician Nurse Licensing Services

Q: How long does it take to obtain a state medical license?
A: Each state has its own timelines. Some states will require us to use the Federation Credentials Verification Service. This process takes about 8 - 10 weeks for AMG's and 10 - 12 weeks for IMG's. Some states will license once the application file is complete; others require that the file be presented at their board meeting. Also, some states require an interview before they will issue a physician a license. At P&N, we do all we can to make sure your documents arrive at the state board and that you are licensed as quickly as possible. Please call us to determine the time of processing.
Q: Are your fees all-inclusive?
A: Our fee schedule includes completing your application, filling out the necessary verification forms, filing your state application, and any follow up work to retain a license number for you. Any additional fees that are required, fees you would have to pay if processing this yourself, are estimated and billed separately. You will receive an estimated invoice for these fees once you have forwarded your CV to us.

Q: Why would a physician pay a service to do something they could do themselves?

A: "That is a good and fair question. A physician can do it for himself at no out of pocket cost. But what is the cost to a Dr in time and stress? Those physicians utilizing licensing services do so generally because their time is at a short supply, they don't have the patience to follow-up with the boards, the patience to review the application for completion and the professional overview of the application process that a licensing service brings to the table. Individually they probably do not have the rapport that has been built up between the different state medical boards that a licensing service has. They may not know where to turn to get the answers to some difficult questions. License completion is what we do every day all day, we are professionals. Our fees are about equal to two hours net pay for most doctors. As we state in our literature-quality completion, competitive pricing, thorough follow-up, confidentiality, record retention and convenient progress reports lead to less stress, more production within the current practice and the freedom to enjoy time with family. Licensing services lead to quicker issue times for the intended destination. Every year about 10% of the 60,000 plus doctors obtaining a different state license due to relocation and/or obtaining additional state licenses for personal reasons turn to a licensing service. As busy physicians and nurses learn about this industry more are utilizing these services.
