Virginia Medical Board

The Virginia Board of Medicine is the state regulatory authority that issues and oversees medical licenses in Virginia. For license status verification, disciplinary actions, and medical board certification, visit the official website at https://www.dhp.virginia.gov/medicine. While this NPI lookup tool confirms a provider's federal NPPES enrollment, state license verification through the Virginia Board of Medicine is a separate but equally important step in complete provider credential verification. Both NPPES and state board data should be checked during credentialing workflows.
