Continuous Monitoring Service
Select updates to an AMA Physician Profile trigger an email alert sent directly to your inbox. The alert lists the change and provides a link to download the new, updated profile. Updated profiles can also be accessed directly from Order History in the AMA Credentialing Platform. (Notification delivery may vary when using continuous monitoring via a third-party credentialing software.)
The AMA Continuous Monitoring Service is available for both full and reappointment physician profiles and is:
- Immediate: When the AMA receives updated credentials, you receive updated credentials.
- Convenient: Change alerts are emailed directly to your inbox.
- Simple: Updated profiles are immediately available. Simply log in to your AMA account to access them.
- Efficient: Eliminating the need to monitor physician credentials creates efficiency.
For an additional $3 per profile, your organization receives two years of ongoing monitoring for the following data elements:
- State licensure
- National provider identifier (NPI)
- State and federal action notification
- DEA registration
- ABMS® board certification
- Medical school
- Postgraduate medical training

Discrepancy reporting
Reporting a physician or PA profile discrepancy
- Log into your account on AMA Profiles Hub and navigate to the "Profile Manager" tab.
- Search for the clinician or PA for whom you believe inaccurate data has been reported.
- Click the associated "Report Issues" button located in the "Report a Discrepancy" column.
- Enter the information that needs to be investigated.
- Submit your report.
Discrepancies against a physician or PA profile must be submitted within 180 days of profile purchase. For customers who purchased Continuous Monitoring Service for a physician profile, a discrepancy can also be submitted within 180 days of receiving an email notice that a monitored profile has been updated.
Resolution time for a discrepancy report
The discrepancy investigation process is thorough and often requires the AMA to contact one or more primary sources to validate data. Working with the primary sources adds a layer of complexity and time to the process.
The AMA will report results or delays by email within 30 business days. If the investigation results in a change to the profile, an updated profile will be made available for download within AMA Profiles Hub. You will have 30 days to access that updated profile.
Confirm status of a discrepancy report
After submitting a discrepancy report, an email will be sent to you confirming your submission. However, you can also check the status of your submission online with these steps:
- Log into your account on AMA Profiles Hub and navigate to the "Discrepancies" page.
- Filter by clinician name, order number, or discrepancy number and click "Search."
- View the "Results" list to see status or click on a discrepancy number to see details of your report.
