As an agent authorized to report and query the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) on behalf of an eligible entity, I
certify that the organization has read and understands the provisions of Public Law 99-660, as amended; the NPDB
regulation (45 CFR Part 60); Public Law 100-93, as amended by Public Law 101-508; Public Law 104-191, as
amended; and that I will meet and comply with the following requirements:

I understand and can comply with the technical requirements for electronically reporting to and querying the
NPDB, as provided by the NPDB and/or guidance distributed by the NPDB.



I understand that I must query the NPDB separately for each entity on whose behalf I am authorized to query. My

To my knowledge, the information I am submitting is accurate and truthful.

query and report information from my organization's database that I provided or obtained on behalf of any entity
for whom I am no longer acting as agent.



I understand that I must query the NPDB separately for each entity on whose behalf I am authorized to query. My
agreement(s) with the entity(ies) I represent explicitly prohibits me from using information obtained from the NPDB
other than the purpose for which the disclosure was made.
