What happens if a physician (md/do) misses CE requirements in New Jersey, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.
A physician may renew during the first 30 days after expiration with a $100 late fee; on day 31 the license is automatically suspended, and reinstatement from expired status requires $175 plus the $100 late fee plus back renewal fees. Knowingly practicing without a license is a crime of the third degree under N.J.S.A. 2C:21-20 (3–5 years imprisonment, up to $15,000 fine).Verify with board
