Common questions

How do I verify a healthcare license in District of Columbia?
Verify with the District of Columbia board that issued the license. This directory lists 1 District of Columbia licensing lookups, including Washington DC Department of Health. Pick the board for the provider's profession; each entry links to the board's own verification page.
Does District of Columbia publish a Medicaid exclusion list?
Yes. District of Columbia Office of Contracting and Procurement Exclusion List is the state list. Check it alongside the federal OIG LEIE and SAM.gov, since state exclusions are not always reflected in the federal lists.
Does District of Columbia require a separate controlled substance registration?
Yes. Washington D.C. Controlled Substance Lookup verifies the state registration, which is required in addition to a federal DEA registration to prescribe controlled substances in District of Columbia.
