Image for New on the podcast: Stewardship, growth, and why NCMB is updating licensing fees The state budget adopted in early July authorizes the North Carolina Medical Board (NCMB) to increase license application and renewal fees for physicians, PAs and other licensees, effective October 1.

On the latest episode of MedBoard Matters, we explore the many factors that went into the decision to update NCMB's physician fee schedule for the first time since 2016 (2007 for PAs) and the priorities those fees support.

The new physician license application fee will be $550 (currently $400) and the new license renewal fees will be $350 (currently $250). The new license application fee for PAs will be $325 (currently $250) and the new PA renewal fee will be $200 (currently $140). Read NCMB's notice regarding the fee increases.

Listen to the episode.
