THEY’RE AT IT AGAIN!
Doctor SCAM ALERT,
We posted similar warnings twice before and have again received several reports of attempts to extort money and/or sensitive information out of MDs & DOs through the use of PHONE CALLS from the licensing boards.
The medical boards DO NOT UTILIZE THESE TACTICS OF REQUESTING PERSONAL INFORMATION OR DEMANDING MONEY FOR ANY ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.
DO NOT respond to these efforts and please report them to our Investigations Department at:
investigations@okmedicalboard.org
or call
(405) 962-1400 Ext. 114
Variations of this scam have been going on for at least 2 years now, and probably much longer. Here are a few things that will help identify calls as scams:
1. The caller almost always claims to be an investigator with the state medical board (similar reports are coming in from all across the United States, so this is not unique to Oklahoma), giving his name and some made up badge number involving multiple digits and/or letters. To my knowledge, no investigator with this agency has ever provided, or been asked to provide a badge number during any phone call, so we do not volunteer this information, and we have no numbers in excess of two digits.
2. Scammers have been "spoofing" the Oklahoma Medical Board's main phone number (405-962-1400) to make it appear the call is originating from our agency; however, they occasionally ask licensees to call back from the doctor's cell phone to a different line, usually involving an out-of-state area code. All of our investigators will have Oklahoma phone numbers if calls need to be returned. Any licensee who is suspicious that the call is not legitimate should hang up and call our main number to confirm the identity of the caller before providing any confidential information over the phone.
3. Callers may provide many specific details about the licensee, such as DEA number, NPI number, state medical license, phone numbers, etc.; however, much of this information is publicly available to anyone with a computer and internet access. Our agency does not give out personal cell phone, e-mail, or home address information about our licensees; however, people provide such information to other entities regularly when making on-line purchases, setting up on-line accounts, etc.
4. Many calls begin with a claim that the doctor's prescription pads and/or prescription bottles showing the doctor as the prescriber have been intercepted in another state by DEA, the FBI, US Customs, or some other federal agency, and the caller needs the doctor to take some immediate action as a result. If such a seizure had been made, and a licensee were truly under investigation, any contact would invariably come from the federal agency involved in the investigation instead of the state licensing board, and would most likely be a face-to-face meeting instead of a phone call.
5. In the most recent example, the doctor was asked to go to a UPS store to receive a fax. The doctor disconnected the call at that point on the belief that this was a scam. It is unclear what was to come next, but most phishing attempts end with the scammer asking for money to be sent to the caller, or asking for information (such as bank account numbers, PIN numbers, etc.) to confirm some aspect of the scammer's story.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) have asked for the state medical board's assistance in sharing the attached guidance with all physicians and physician assistants licensed in their state or territory. The guidance includes the latest information and resources to plan and prepare for monkeypox virus outbreaks. [CDC/AAMC MonkeyPox Resource Guide on Monday, June 13, 2022]
As of June 10, health officials have confirmed 49 cases of monkeypox in 16 states and DC. The CDC and AAMC ask to provide all MDs, DOs, & PAs with updated facts and case counts, to provide resources that can be shared with their patients, and to help assist them with the clinical assessment of a patient with suspected monkeypox.

Your Message Has Been Received
We apologize that the Oklahoma Medical board is currently “work location” compromised with the licensing staff due to the Pandemic. With the current events, most of us are working from home and may not be able to answer our phones in a timely manner. Please know and understand that we are working as efficiently as we can. We want to get health professionals licensed and working as fast as possible. Phone calls, snail mail and faxes can slow the licensing process down considerably!
PLEASE USE EMAIL TO CORRESPOND WITH US. Emails ARE much faster and less interruptive in the licensing process. PLEASE SCAN DOCUMENTS AND EMAIL TO US. Every piece of mailed, faxed information or when dropped by the agency in person is a slower process due to in-office scheduling.
We want you to come to Oklahoma to practice SO help us during this time to protect the citizens of this state by helping us do our due diligence and prompt licensure process BY USING EMAIL for all of your communication.
Please understand this agency processes an average of 2300 applications each year and renews over 25,000 licensees annually. EMAILS are managed by the same individuals who process licensure applications. Duplicate emails, phone calls and faxes reduce the amount of time these individuals have to process YOUR application. Please be assured that the information included with your EMAIL will be collected and documented.
If the email submitted includes information pertaining to a pending application, please be advised that updates to applications will be reflected on the * “Check the Status of a Pending Application” portal at
https://secure.okmedicalboard.org/applicant/signin
*All applicants will receive a letter with their specific PIN to check their application status on-line. The applicant should share their PIN with their authorized contact person so that they can check the application online portal as well. If an application has been submitted but you have not yet received a PIN to check the application status, it is because the application is still being processed. The PIN will be sent as soon as the checklist has been created.
The staff of the Oklahoma Medical Board appreciates your cooperation and patience.
