UnitedHealthcare and HCSC Accept NBPAS Certification

Recent advancements highlight major strides for the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS) in promoting physician choice. UnitedHealthcare and Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC) now accept NBPAS certification as part of their credentialing processes, moving away from reliance on Maintenance of Certification (MOC) programs. UnitedHealthcare recognizes physician competency through clinical practice and ongoing learning, while HCSC’s decision marks a pivotal endorsement.


Additionally, Texas Senate Bill 2207, which seeks to remove hidden MOC requirements and allow NBPAS physicians to advertise as "board certified," has gained momentum, passing unanimously in the Senate and heading to the House. These developments collectively reflect progress in modernizing credentialing standards and empowering physicians.
