With the March 31, 2021, deadline approaching for Florida physicians to renew their medical license, Chapman Law Group recently presented a CME session with information doctors need to know about the Florida licensing process.
As part of Manatee County Medical Society’s CME Day 2021 — an annual course providing insight for doctors on license renewal — Chapman Law Group healthcare attorneys Ronald W. Chapman Sr. and Sara A. Bazzigaluppi led a virtual session covering Florida medical licensing matters.
The presentation also included an overview on the duties of Florida physicians, updates on coding, a review of physician prohibitions, and medical ethics.
Current Florida medical licenses expire midnight EST on March 31, 2021.
To ensure you receive your renewal notification from the department, your current mailing address must be on file.
Failure to renew an active or inactive license by the expiration date will result in the license being placed in delinquent status.
Failure by a delinquent licensee to renew before the expiration of the current licensure cycle renders the license null and void without any further action by the board or the Department of Health. (See Emergency Order DOH No. 20-015, Florida Board of Medicine, Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine.)
A licensee who remains on inactive status for more than two consecutive biennial licensure cycles and who wishes to reactivate the license may be required to demonstrate the competency to resume active practice by sitting for a special purpose examination or by completing other reactivation requirements. (See Rule 64B8-45.004 and Rule 64B15-13.002, Florida Administrative Code.)
If you are renewing or reactivating your license, please refer to the Laws & Rules governing your practice for additional requirements.
(See sections 456.0635, 456.041, 456.042, and 456.049, Florida Statutes.)

What’s the best way for a Florida nurse or physician to face orders compelling exam? Having legal representation and medical experts from the get-go.
Our Florida health care attorneys handled a nurse’s drug diversion case, and it’s a perfect example of how, when combining specialty healthcare law expertise, we at Chapman Law Group are the leaders in Florida.
Florida nurses and medical practitioners are most often referred to IPN and PRN by employers due to potential safety-to-practice concerns.
Failure to report can lead to probation or suspended/revoked license. Having a lawyer prepare your report could mean avoiding/reducing fines and sanctions.
