Some state medical boards offer downloadable files or data reports for a fee (e.g., Texas Medical Board).
Many only offer an online search portal (like the Medical Board of California's License Verification tool) where you can look up one physician at a time.
You might need to contact the specific state board directly to inquire about bulk data access or licensing.
Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB): While the FSMB doesn't offer a single consolidated download of all state licensure data to the public, they offer "Data Licensing" services for high-volume institutional users, allowing streamlined access to licensure and disciplinary information for a fee.
4. Commercial Physician Databases / Data Aggregators
What it is: These are proprietary databases compiled by private companies that aggregate data from numerous sources (NPI, state boards, claims data, self-reported data, surveys, etc.). They offer more comprehensive, cleaned, and often enhanced datasets.
Data Included: Can be extensive, often including: NPI, full name, multiple practice addresses and phone numbers, specialties (taxonomy, self-designated, claims-derived), group affiliations, hospital affiliations, prescribing behavior (from claims data), medical education, board certifications, and more.
Use Cases:
Provider network development.
Market intelligence and competitive at&t email list analysis.
Healthcare research (with appropriate licensing).
How to Download: These are typically not free and require a licensing agreement and significant fees. Examples of such companies include:
AMA Physician Professional Data™ (formerly Masterfile): The AMA licenses its comprehensive physician data. You cannot "download" the full Masterfile freely; it's a proprietary product licensed to organizations.
