What is License Attestation, and Clinically Active status? When must it be completed?

You must attest by December 31 each year that all of your licenses to practice medicine are full and unrestricted. The ABD verifies licensure from reports obtained directly from the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB). 

You must also tell us annually whether you are clinically active or not. “Clinically Active” is defined as any amount of direct and/or consultative patient care that has been provided in the preceding 12 months.
