License Renewal Begins May 10, 2021

Oklahoma City, Monday, May 3, 2021 — The online Osteopathic License Renewal system will open May 10, 2021.  All Osteopathic Licenses are set to expire June 30 of each year.  The purpose of this email is to give you the information you will need for the renewal process.  Before you begin, please have the relevant CME, proper prescribing course information, and payment method available.  Then, you will click the link below to be directed to the Licensee Login page.  If you have not accessed the new system prior to today, you will need to click "New to this site? Activate Now".  The email used for activation must be the email address this message was sent to.  The system will send you a temporary password and prompt you to set up your security questions and permanent password.  If you have previously created an account you will log in with your email and existing password.  Once you are in the system and making your way through the renewal, please verify your information is correct and up to date.

As most of you know, we launched a new licensure database in December of last year.  This system is designed to increase efficiency and user navigation, but we would like to point out a few new items for renewal this year.

• During your renewal, you will be required to enter your place of practice(s).  This is due to the fact that our system previously did not capture the same data as this record. Please note: If put your home address or cell phone number in your place of practice record that information will be available to the public.  This data is not shared when provided in other sections of the renewal.
• Dispensing Permits are now available in your Place of Practice records.  You can request one for each location you dispense and log medication at.  These permits are $50.00 per location.  You can request these in your dashboard any time of the year as well as renewal.
• A new piece of data we are gathering is Languages of Care, please indicate if you have spoken and/or written fluency in the language(s) you list.
• Once your renewal is approved, your updated license certificate and wallet card will be available in PDF format.  These are listed under "Certificate and Pocket Card Download" on the left hand side of your dashboard.
• Receipt of payment is also available on the left hand side of your dashboard under "Invoices & Receipts".

By completing your renewal online, you certify that you earned a minimum of sixteen (16) 1A or 1B CME hours between 7/1/2020 and 6/30/2021, this is to include one (1) hour of Proper Prescribing credit between 07/01/2020 and 06/30/2021 that is approved by the Osteopathic Board.  Out-of-State DOs are exempt from Proper Prescribing. Residents and Fellows are exempt from CME & Proper Prescribing credits. It is your responsibility to maintain a file that will verify your compliance with CME rules in the event the Board chooses to audit your CME credit.  However, you are now able to upload CME certifications if you choose.

Please Note: You will not be allowed to complete your renewal before the June 30 deadline if you have not received the required CME hours.  If you plan to receive your CME July 1- August 31 you must wait until July 1 or after to renew your license with the addition of a $150.00 late fee.
