Common questions

How do I verify a healthcare license in Massachusetts?
Verify with the Massachusetts board that issued the license. This directory lists 3 Massachusetts licensing lookups, including Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine, Massachusetts Health and Human Services, and Massachusetts Permitting Portal. Pick the board for the provider's profession; each entry links to the board's own verification page.
Does Massachusetts publish a Medicaid exclusion list?
Yes. Massachusetts Medicaid 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 Massachusetts require a separate controlled substance registration?
Yes. Massachusetts Controlled Substance Lookup verifies the state registration, which is required in addition to a federal DEA registration to prescribe controlled substances in Massachusetts.
Where do providers enroll in Massachusetts Medicaid?
MassHealth is the state's provider enrollment portal. Medicaid enrollment is separate from commercial payer enrollment and from Medicare enrollment through PECOS.
