What is attestation?
Attestation is our national education and outreach effort to ensure that all eligible organizations are meeting their NPDB reporting, querying, and confidentiality requirements. During attestation, every 2 years organizations will confirm that they have submitted all reportable actions and medical malpractice payments to the NPDB. Hospitals will also confirm that they have completed all querying requirements as required by the federal laws governing the NPDB. Organizations will be notified in their registration renewal emails whether their attestation is scheduled to occur during the current renewal cycle.
