How Kentucky Physician (MD) license verification works
A Physician (MD) in Kentucky is licensed by the KY Medical Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.
Fields returned for this board: license_number status expires issued board_action degree practice_county area_of_practice type_of_practice medical_school year_graduated address phone supervising_physician.
Board note: KBML GenSearch: AGY=5 physicians (Active/Inactive Physician, Residency; Board Action), AGY=20 physician assistants (PA####, supervising physician, no status line: expiry governs), AGY=26 acupuncturists (AC###). Plain WebForms POST, no captcha; Load Date printed daily. Name search = last name only (starts with). No DOB.
