Georgia / Care briefings

A guide to finding and understanding care

Check licenses

# Check the names behind the offer.

The situation

You have the prescriber's name and a pharmacy name. Now you want to check the records yourself.

Match the full name on the offer to the name in the state record. A badge on a page is a different kind of information.

- Prescriber name

- Pharmacy name

- Matching state records

Check the person and the pharmacy separately.

FDA is the federal drug agency: the Food and Drug Administration.

From the record

### Doctors and physician assistants

Georgia's free medical-board search shows license status, dates and public orders for doctors and physician assistants.

Record checked in September 2026.

[Search the Georgia medical-board record](https://medicalboard.georgia.gov/verify-licensee)

## Read what the record actually says

A physician assistant is a licensed medical professional who works with a supervising doctor.

Compare the spelling and license number. Read any public order rather than guessing what it means from a search result.

A public order is a written action by the board.

From the record

### Nurses and nurse practitioners

The Georgia Board of Nursing oversees nurses, including nurse practitioners; its state licensing page links to the free license search.

A nurse practitioner has advanced nursing training. Ask about the prescribing agreement as well as the nursing license.

Record checked in September 2026.

## A shipment from another state adds a permit check

As of September 2026, shipping prescription orders into Georgia requires an out-of-state pharmacy to hold Georgia's nonresident permit.

Nonresident means the pharmacy is based in another state.

Ask for the Georgia permit details and look for the pharmacy's actual name.

## Use each record for its own question

A license listing confirms that a license exists. It cannot tell you whether your own medicine was prepared and supplied correctly.

Ask the pharmacy who made your medicine and whom to call about a label or delivery problem.

As of September 2026, FDA registration is a listing of a business or drug, not approval of that business or medicine.

For an approved medicine, ask for the FDA record for the exact finished product and its use.
