How Massachusetts Osteopathic Physician (DO) license verification works

A Osteopathic Physician (DO) in Massachusetts is licensed by the MA 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: status issued last_renewed expires license_type actions education associated_licenses city_state.

Board note: PA live via BHPL API (connector covers pa only). MD/DO: BORIM physician profiles app findmydoctor.mass.gov (same ArcHealth vendor) is broken 2026-11-03: api.medboard.mass.gov/api-public/meta/available-license-boards answers 404 and /search 400 (Arc Nest Validation Error), so the search page never renders; two attempts, recheck later
