235.992 Eliminate Costly Monopoly for State Medical Licensure Credentialing by For-Profit Entity in New York and Enable Use of Alterative Credentialing Service
The MSSNY will work with the New York state licensing board so that the costly for-profit FCVS service no longer has an exclusive monopoly on credentialing physicians and charging physicians hundreds of dollars to be licensed in New York; that the complimentary AMA Physician Credentialing service which is recognized and used for state licensure credentialing verification in over 40 other states is also offered as an alternative to state licensure credentialing verification ion New York; and ensure the complimentary primary verification obtained directly from medical schools and post-graduate residency training programs, which is used throughout the country and which previously has been used in New York to credential physicians for licensure, is another alternative accepted to credential physicians for state licensure in New York.
