September 21, 2018 BPOA Licensure UpdatesPOMA received notice this week that physicians who have renewed their license are beginning to receive confirmation to this effect and that the online verification reflects the correct status of the license. However, due to the high volume of renewals, there is a delay in the printing of the licenses. Please be patient as the state processes the printed licenses POMA continues to work with the State Board and BPOA to address issues that arise with the application and renewal process. They have provided us with a list of Frequently Asked Questions that may help you as you are working on your renewal. If you are experiencing difficulty obtaining a license, email [email protected]. Provide the date you applied, any outreach you’ve made to the board (email, phone calls, etc.), and if there are any extenuating circumstances leading to a hardship if the license is not received.
