Initial Q & A
What Are the Dos and Don’ts of Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners Licensure Renewal?
The season of license renewal is almost upon us for physicians and physician assistants licensed by the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners (“Board”). As providers prepare to renew, a few reminders about the “dos and don’ts” of renewing your license.
DO…Renew before licenses expire on June 30, 2025. Nevada does not have grace period. If you fail to renew your license on or before June 30th your license will expire. Practicing medicine, including prescribing any medication, may subject you to disciplinary action. You will also be required to pay twice the current renewal fee to reinstate your license within two years of the date of expiration.
DON’T…Allow a third party to submit your renewal application unless you have reviewed the entirety of the application to ensure that it is 100% accurate. The license holder is ultimately responsible for the accuracy of the renewal application, regardless of who completed it, and any omission or misinformation can cause delays in renewal and possible disciplinary action for renewing a license with false or misleading information.
