According to NCQA, which license does not require a PSV?

The correct answer is that a DEA registration does not require Primary Source Verification (PSV). The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) outlines specific requirements for verifying credentials, including licenses that typically require PSV. While the medical, nursing, and pharmacy licenses must be verified directly with the appropriate state board or licensing authority to ensure their authenticity, a DEA registration is more of an administrative compliance requirement than a professional license indicating an ability to practice medicine or nursing. Consequently, while it may need to be documented that the DEA registration is valid, it does not necessitate PSV in the same manner as other professional licenses. This is essential for maintaining accurate and compliant credentialing processes within healthcare organizations.
