Approximately half of Florida MDs are set to have their licenses to practice medicine expire on January 31, 2008, however, the Florida Department of Health reports that only 38 percent have renewed their license to date.

If you have not received your licensure renewal information and are unsure if it is time to renew, visit www.flhealthsource.com to view your profile. Your license expiration date should be at the top. You cannot practice if your license expires. Renewing after the deadline is costly and time-consuming. Additionally, third-party payers may refuse to reimburse you for services rendered under an inactive license, so renewing early is important. The Board of Medicine has made this easy by putting the renewal process online. To renew online, go to www.flhealthsource.com and click on "Licensees/Provider" and then "Renew License." You will need an account/user ID number and password, which was included in your license renewal notice sent in October. If you do not have your notice, you may email licensure_services@doh.state.fl.us or call 850.488.0595, and press menu option 3.

The licensure renewal process this year has a new requirement. The Legislature passed a bill that requires all physicians to complete a Physician Workforce Survey as a condition of licensure renewal. The information submitted in the survey will help our state identify physician workforce issues and plan for Florida's health care future.
