{"abstract":"The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is announcing the implementation of a Proactive Disclosure Service (PDS) Prototype. The PDS is being offered as an alternative to the periodic querying of the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB). It was developed in response to the growing interest of healthcare entities in on-going monitoring of practitioner credentials. Authorized Data Bank entities can choose to enroll all of their practitioners in PDS or enroll some practitioners while continuing to periodically query on others using the regular query methods. The query fee for periodic queries remains $4.75 per name. Entities with PDS enrolled practitioners will be notified within one business day of the NPDB's receipt of a report on any of their enrollees. While entities can expect to receive reports sooner with PDS, the format of and the information contained in a report, as well as the information required to be reported will remain the same. Initially, the PDS is being offered as a prototype. The annual subscription fee, during the prototype period, is $3.25 per practitioner. This rate is subject to change after the prototype period is complete.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Health Resources and Services Administration","name":"Health Resources and Services Administration","id":222,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-resources-and-services-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/222","parent_id":221,"slug":"health-resources-and-services-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2007/03/07/E7-3974.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"72 FR 10227","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This fee will be effective April 30, 2007.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E7-3974","effective_on":"2007-04-30","end_page":10228,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2007/03/07/E7-3974.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/03/07/E7-3974/national-practitioner-data-bank-announcement-of-proactive-disclosure-service-pds-opening-date-and","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E7-3974?publication_date=2007-03-07","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2007-03-07/E7-3974/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":86,"last_updated":"2026-04-18 02:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-03-07/pdf/E7-3974.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2007-03-07","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2007/03/07/E7-3974.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T21:20:39Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":10227,"subtype":null,"title":"National Practitioner Data Bank; Announcement of Proactive Disclosure Service (PDS) Opening Date and User Fees","toc_doc":"Proactive Disclosure Service Prototype; implementation","toc_subject":"National Practitioner Data Bank:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":72}
