Medical License Verification Act
This bill requires the federal government to create an automated system that verifies whether healthcare providers applying for a unique health identifier are licensed in good standing by their state. It directly affects healthcare providers who apply for these identifiers, ensuring their state licenses are valid before the identifier is issued. The system must be operational within 30 days of the bill's enactment, checking state licensure status automatically. This change modifies the Social Security Act to add this verification step before issuing identifiers to providers claiming state licensure.
