Is It Reportable?

A board of medical examiners initiated an investigation related to a physician's professional conduct. Two weeks later, the physician allowed his license to expire. The physician's license lapsed prior to any proposed agreement or board decision. Does the lapse need to be reported to the NPDB?

Yes. A nonrenewal of a license while under or to avoid an investigation must be reported to the NPDB.

Dear NPDB

How long do reports stay in the NPDB?

Reports remain in the NPDB indefinitely, unless the reporting entity corrects or voids the report. The NPDB will not void reports outside of the Dispute Resolution process.
