Question: 1 / 400

True or False: Denial of a medical license application by a state medical board is reportable to the NPDB.

True

False

The statement that denial of a medical license application by a state medical board is reportable to the NPDB is false. The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) primarily collects and reports certain adverse actions taken against healthcare practitioners, such as revocations or suspensions of licenses, as well as malpractice payments. However, a denial of a medical license application does not fall under the reportable actions to the NPDB unless it is related to a formal disciplinary action. Since a simple denial does not meet the criteria set for reporting, the accurate understanding is that such denials are not documented in the NPDB, which is why this statement is evaluated as false.
