For Physicians (Self-Inquiry):

[roseline371277]

State Medical Licensing Boards: Many state licensing boards require an AMA Physician Profile as part of the initial application or re-licensure process. States like Virginia, Vermont, South Carolina, and others often request this.
Third-Party Payers: Health insurance companies and other payers may use these profiles to verify a physician's credentials for inclusion in their provider networks.
Academic and Research Institutions: For verifying faculty credentials or for research purposes (though often with de-identified or aggregated data for broader research studies).
Physicians Themselves: Physicians can request their own profile report for self-verification, to ensure accuracy, or to have a compiled source of their verified credentials for various applications.
How to Access an AMA Physician Profile Data Report:
The AMA has an online platform deepcoin database called the AMA Profiles Hub (part of AMA Credentialing Solutions) where these reports can be requested.

For Organizations (Hospitals, Licensing Boards, Credentialing Agencies): These entities typically subscribe to the AMA Profiles Hub to search for, order, and download physician profiles for credentialing and verification purposes. They often have continuous monitoring services available to receive updates to profiles.

Physicians can request a free self-inquiry profile from the AMA Profiles Hub. This allows them to review the information the AMA has on file and ensure its accuracy.
If a physician needs their profile sent directly to a licensing board, there's typically a processing fee (e.g., $40).
To ensure security, the AMA requires physicians requesting their own profile to answer a series of security questions based on their data in the AMA Physician Professional Data.
