Pennsylvania Medical License Lookup

Pennsylvania maintains multiple medical license lookup resources. However, license lookup for most Pennsylvania health professions can be done through a single online resource where license verification searches can be filtered by 18 health professions, including medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, optometry, podiatry, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. License lookup searches can also be filtered by a specific license type. For example, instead of a lookup for someone in the "Nursing" profession, the lookup could be narrowed to the license type "Registered Nurse" or "Practical Nurse". Regardless of the search filter applied, the Pennsylvania Medical License Lookup online resource produces search results that display the licensee name, license number, profession, license type, license status, and the city, state and zip code of the licensee. A user can drill down on the licensee name produced in the search results to find additional information about the issue date of the license, the license expiration date and the date when the license was last renewed. Separate online license verification tools are required for health insurance professionals and health facilities, including hospitals, as indicated below:

Information about medical licensing requirements and disciplinary issues pertaining to health professionals typically are available through Health Licensing Boards in each State.

Alternatively, go to Health and Medical License Lookup to find Medical License Lookup resources aggregated by functional area rather than on a State by State basis.
