Practitioner Profile FAQs
On April 18, 2017, the Sunset Extension bill eliminates Hospital Reporting of practitioner privileges every 6 months. The onus is now on the practitioner to provide hospital privilege updates through their profile.
New Law: Medical Liability Insurance (SB 195/HB 957). There will be a yes/no question on the upcoming renewal about whether a physician maintains medical liability insurance. The answer will be posted on the Practitioner Profiles.
During the 1999 Session of the Maryland General Assembly, Senate Bill 302 passed which requires the Board to create a profile on each licensed physician. In 2003, Senate Bill 500 expanded the profiles to include Allied Health practitioners.
The profile will include the following information:
- Name of Licensee

Only a status of "Active", "Probation", or "Inactive" can update their profile information. If your license is suspended but the expiration date is still valid, you can contact the Board to update your profile. All other statuses cannot update their profile information on our website and we do not process any address change requests in writing or verbally.
Providing false information may be grounds for discipline including denial, suspension or revocation of a practitioner's license.
