How Kentucky Physician Assistant license verification works

A Physician Assistant 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.

What a Physician Assistant license check returns

Field check	Passes when
`license_number`	Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Physician Assistant license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
`expires`	Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
`disciplinary_actions`	Recorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped

Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.

PA Licensure Compact and multistate Physician Assistant licenses

Physician Assistant licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the PA Licensure Compact. When the Kentucky record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
