The Medical Staff Services department will coordinate your hospital privileges and payer enrollment. Our goal is to ensure that your credentialing process is seamless and efficient. You will be contacted by your Intake Partner within the Medical Staff Services department 60 days prior to your start date to initiate your electronic credentialing process.
In the interim, please review the checklist below, which lists the required documents that you will need to submit to complete the credentialing process for privileging, managed care participation, and government enrollment.
Critical Licensure Requirement Information
To avoid any delays with the credentialing process, please ensure that all your licensure/documents meet the following criteria:
The medical license application process may take anywhere from 4 – 6 months.
At this time, the NC Medical Board does not require the use of the Federation Credentials Verification System (FCVS) for all new applicants. However, if you are relocating from a state that did require the use of the FCVS, or if you are a graduate from a medical school outside of the US, you are required to use the FCVS in completing your application.
The SC Medical Board does require the use of the FCVS.
For AL License, apply via the Federation of State Medical Boards’ Uniform Application at least 6 months prior to anticipated practice in Alabama. Once the application is approved, pay the licensing fee, and apply for a controlled substances registration before the certificate of qualification expires to complete the process.
Websites for the Boards as well as the FCVS are included below:
