Question #30 - Reinstatement Of License:
You were initially granted your plenary New Jersey medical license in May, 2008 after living and practicing in another state for five years. In July of that year you accepted a position here and moved your family to New Jersey, however, you failed to notify the Board of your new mailing address. As a result, the following spring you never received notification by mail that the biennial renewal cycle had commenced. Subsequently, in the first week of August, the credentialing department at the hospital where you hold privileges advised you that your license had expired. When you contact the Board regarding your license status, you will you be given the following information:
You were required to provide written notification to the Board within 21 days of your change of address rendering your failure to receive a renewal notice immaterial. Since your license was administratively suspended (expired) you will be required to reinstate your license and may not practice medicine until you do so. Additionally, you must submit: a completed reinstatement application; an authorization form and fee allowing for an updated criminal history background check using finger prints already on file; a current CV with no time gaps from your medical education to present; source documentation of required CME credits; fees totaling the current two-year registration fee, a $100.00 late fee and a $175.00 reinstatement fee; license verification letters from all other states where you have ever held a medical license.
True or False:
The process may be completed in 30 days or less.
True False That Is Correct! Sorry, That Is Incorrect. For Your Information New Jersey requires written notification of address changes within 21 days. Refer to N.J.A.C. 13:35-6.19(b). All New Jersey medical licenses expire June 30 of every odd-numbered calendar year regardless of the initial date of issue. Whenever a license is suspended (expired), reinstatement is required. Be aware also that if a license is allowed to remain in Expired status for multiple biennial registration cycles, prior to reinstatement the licensee will be required to pay fees including those due for each biennial cycle during which the license was in Expired status. Refer to N.J.A.C. 13:35-3.14. To avoid this scenario, licensees should contact the Board to have their status changed to Inactive as soon as they cease practicing in New Jersey or, if not planning to renew, prior to the expiration of the license. Reinstatement from Inactive status requires only the current two-year registration fee and a $175.00 reinstatement fee.
