$899 flat fee — we prepare and track your New York medical license application end to end. $1,497 if you have prior discipline, a malpractice suit, or anything on your record to explain.

Flat-fee pricing in New York
One published flat fee, confirmed in writing before any work starts. Board, FCVS, verification, fingerprint, and exam fees are paid directly to those agencies and are never marked up by us.
$899
Standard physician licensure
A clean record with nothing to explain to the board.
- Full application prepared and submitted-ready for one state and one license type
- FCVS, primary-source verifications, and credentialing paperwork coordinated
- Every board deficiency-response package prepared until the file is complete
- Status tracking and follow-up with the board through to issuance
$1,497
Licensure with a history to explain
Any prior discipline, malpractice suit, settlement, investigation, board inquiry, hospital action, or unresolved question on your record — whether or not discipline was ever entered.
- Everything in the standard engagement
- Written explanation and disclosure package for each reportable event
- Supporting records assembled: court, settlement, hospital, and prior-board documents
- Prepared responses for board follow-up questions and interview preparation
What counts as "a history to explain"
Discipline does not have to have been entered. If any of these appear anywhere in your record, the application requires disclosure work and is priced at the higher flat fee:
- • Any board discipline, consent order, reprimand, probation, or fine
- • A malpractice lawsuit — filed, settled, dismissed, or pending
- • A malpractice settlement or judgment, at any amount
- • An open or closed board investigation or complaint
- • A hospital privileging denial, restriction, resignation, or non-renewal
- • A prior license denial, withdrawal, lapse, or non-renewal in any state
- • Any criminal charge, DUI, or diversion program
- • A National Practitioner Data Bank report of any kind
Choose the correct fee
Clean record or a history that must be explained?
The price is based on the work your record requires—not on whether a prior event ultimately became formal discipline. Disclose it at intake so the application and source records stay consistent.
$899 — clean record
For one state and one license type when there is no adverse history or reportable event to explain. We prepare the application, organize the supporting record, coordinate the checklist, and track the file after you submit it.
$1,497 — history to explain
This applies when any event needs disclosure or explanation—even if no discipline was entered, a case was dismissed, or an investigation closed without action.
- Any board discipline, consent order, reprimand, probation, or fine
- A malpractice lawsuit — filed, settled, dismissed, or pending
- A malpractice settlement or judgment, at any amount
- An open or closed board investigation or complaint
- A hospital privileging denial, restriction, resignation, or non-renewal
- A prior license denial, withdrawal, lapse, or non-renewal in any state
- Any criminal charge, DUI, or diversion program
- A National Practitioner Data Bank report of any kind
What to gather before we start for New York
You do not need every document in hand before contacting us. This list lets us identify missing records early, before they hold up board review.
- Government-issued identification and current contact information
- Medical school, graduation date, degree, and ECFMG details if applicable
- Every internship, residency, fellowship, and postgraduate training program
- Every current, inactive, expired, or surrendered professional license
- USMLE or COMLEX history and an existing FCVS profile, if you have one
- A complete work and activity history, including explanations for gaps
- Malpractice carrier and claim history, including dismissed or settled matters
- Every board letter, hospital action, investigation, court record, or NPDB report
What the board will evaluate
Requirements vary by profession and pathway. Common review areas include identity, education, examinations, postgraduate training, background history, and records from every prior board.
- Degree from a medical program acceptable to the Department (LCME, AOA, or Department-recognized international program)
- USMLE or COMLEX — all three steps
- Postgraduate hospital training verified directly by the program
- Application and supporting forms filed with the Office of the Professions
- New York mandated coursework: infection control and child abuse identification
- Prescriber education on pain management and controlled substances for practitioners who prescribe
- Disclosure of all prior licensure, discipline, and malpractice history
- ECFMG certification for international medical graduates
What happens next—and what can delay a license
No consultant controls the board’s decision or calendar. Starting with a complete, consistent record reduces avoidable delays; third-party verification and individual board review still take time.
1. Scope and record review
We identify the state, license type, required pathway, and whether your history needs additional disclosure documents.
2. Application preparation
We organize your chronology, prepare the application and explanations, and give you a submission-ready package to review and sign.
3. Third-party verification
Medical schools, training programs, examination services, prior boards, fingerprint vendors, and FCVS send records on their own schedules.
4. Board review and follow-up
After you submit, we track the file and prepare your response package if the board identifies a missing item or asks for clarification.
Common reasons files stop moving
- A training program or prior licensing board has not returned verification
- Dates in the application do not match a CV, FCVS profile, or source record
- An employment or training gap is missing a complete explanation
- A lawsuit, settlement, investigation, hospital action, or license event was omitted
- Fingerprints, examination scores, transcripts, or ECFMG records are still pending
- The board placed the file on a committee or meeting agenda for individual review

Getting a NY medical license without the back-and-forth
New York does not license physicians through a medical board in the usual sense. Licensure runs through the New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions, with the State Board for Medicine advising. That structural difference trips up almost every out-of-state applicant: the forms, the terminology, and the registration cycle are unlike any other state.
We prepare the New York packet the way the Office of the Professions expects it — application and each supporting form organized for the correct source, mandated coursework certificates identified, and the license and first registration sequenced so the physician knows what to submit and when.

NY medical license FAQ
Who issues medical licenses in New York?
The New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions issues physician licenses, with the State Board for Medicine advising on standards. New York does not use a stand-alone medical board the way most states do, which is why the forms and process look unfamiliar to out-of-state applicants.
Does New York participate in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact?
No. New York has not joined the IMLC. A physician licensed in a compact state must still file a complete New York application through the Office of the Professions.
What mandated coursework does New York require?
New York requires infection control training and child abuse identification and reporting coursework, plus prescriber education on pain management, palliative care, and addiction for practitioners who prescribe controlled substances. We coordinate the approved providers and attach the certificates to the file.
What is the difference between a New York license and registration?
The license is permanent; the registration is what authorizes you to practice and must be renewed on the Department's cycle. Physicians routinely get caught practicing on a lapsed registration while holding a valid license. We handle both.
Can I practice in New York while my application is pending?
Only under a limited permit, and only where the Department's conditions are met — typically in an accredited training program or under defined supervision. We evaluate limited permit eligibility as part of intake.
Do you serve all of New York?
Yes — New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Long Island, Westchester, Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and statewide. All intake is remote.
Where is the New York medical board located and how do I contact it?
NYSED Office of the Professions — 89 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12234. Misconduct complaints go to the Department of Health, Office of Professional Medical Conduct, Riverview Center, 150 Broadway, Suite 355, Albany, NY 12204-2719, 1-800-663-6114. We are not the board; we prepare and track the file that goes to it.
How do I look up or verify a New York medical license?
Use the board's public license verification search at the Office of the Professions verification search (https://www.op.nysed.gov/verification-search). Verification through the official registry is the only record employers, payers, and hospitals accept.
What does the New York board not handle?
Physician misconduct investigations and discipline are handled by the Department of Health's Office of Professional Medical Conduct, not the Office of the Professions, and healthcare facility licensure is handled by the Department of Health. Sending an item to the wrong agency is one of the most common New York delays.
Does the New York board handle complaints and discipline?
Complaints about physicians, physician assistants, and specialist assistants go to the Office of Professional Medical Conduct at the New York State Department of Health, reachable at 1-800-663-6114. Licensure and registration stay with the Office of the Professions. We prepare and reconcile disclosure history; we do not represent anyone in a conduct proceeding.
The New York medical board, explained
New York does not have a stand-alone medical board the way most states do. Physician licenses are issued by the New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions, at 89 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12234, with the State Board for Medicine advising on standards.
Professional misconduct is handled somewhere else entirely: the Office of Professional Medical Conduct inside the New York State Department of Health, Riverview Center, 150 Broadway, Suite 355, Albany, NY 12204-2719. Sending the wrong item to the wrong agency is a routine and expensive New York mistake.
