If I reapply for licensure after my application expires, will all of the fees apply to my new application?

Only the initial license fee and the NICA fee will be applied to the new application. The application fee will not be applied to the new application.  However, the application fee is only valid for one year and is non-refundable.

Will I get a refund if I am not approved for licensure?

The Board of Medicine will refund your initial license fee and NICA fee.  However, you will not receive a refund for your application fee.
