i Deadlines, fees, and what happens if you are late

When it is due

Fixed calendar dates by license type, not birth month. MD: all Medical Doctor licenses expire July 31; the renewal cycle runs May 15 through July 31 each year, with on-time renewal due by June 30 and July 1 to July 31 as the late-renewal window. DO: all Osteopathic Doctor licenses expire October 31; renewal cycle August 15 through October 31, on-time by September 30, late window October 1 to October 31.

Fee

$360 online ($430 by paper) for annual renewal of an active or federally active MD/DO license under the Healing Arts Act; inactive or exempt license renews at $150; resident active $100; reentry active $300

Late fee

Additional +$100 for online late renewal (+$230 for paper late renewal) of an active or federally active license; inactive/exempt late renewal adds +$55 online (+$80 paper)

If you miss the deadline

There is a built-in late month with a late fee (MD: July 1-31; DO: October 1-31). If not renewed by the end of that month, the license goes to "Cancelled - Failure to Renew" status the next day (MD: August 1; DO: November 1). Practicing on a cancelled license may subject the physician to disciplinary action. Reinstatement of a cancelled license requires a reinstatement application and a $400 fee, and the board may require additional testing, training, or education depending on the circumstances (reinstatement of a revoked license is $1,000).

3 Common Pitfalls to Avoid

These are the mistakes Kansas physicians most commonly make during renewal:

The printed expiration date is NOT the on-time deadline. An MD license expires July 31, but on-time renewal ends June 30; renewing in July costs the late fee (+$100 online, +$230 paper). Same structure for DOs: expires October 31 but on-time renewal ends September 30.
MD and DO renew on different calendars at the same board: MD May 15 to July 31, DO August 15 to October 31. Dual-degree groups and credentialing staff tracking both types miss this split.
Paper renewal is materially more expensive: $430 vs $360 on time, and the paper late surcharge is $230 vs $100 online, so a paper late renewal totals $660 vs $460 online.
One day past the late window the license is administratively cancelled (status Cancelled - Failure to Renew on August 1 for MD, November 1 for DO). Reinstatement is $400, may require additional testing, training, or education at the board's discretion, and practicing on a cancelled license can draw disciplinary action.
An active Kansas license carries a mandatory malpractice insurance condition: the Health Care Stabilization Fund Act requires coverage of at least $500,000 per claim / $1,500,000 annual aggregate (K.S.A. 40-3402, 40-3404, 65-2809(c)). Physicians who leave practice but keep an active license at renewal still carry this obligation; exempt or inactive designations avoid it.

4 Frequently Asked Questions

When is my Kansas medical license renewal due? ▾

MD licenses all expire July 31 and renew annually; the renewal window opens May 15 and on-time renewal ends June 30, with July 1-31 as the late window. DO licenses all expire October 31; the window opens August 15, on-time renewal ends September 30, and October 1-31 is the late window. Kansas does not use birth-month renewal for physicians.

How much does renewal cost? ▾

$360 for online renewal of an active or federally active MD/DO license, $430 by paper. Late renewal adds $100 online or $230 by paper. Inactive and exempt licenses renew at $150.

How do I renew online? ▾

Log in to the KSBHA Online Portal at https://boha.ks.gov/egov_boha/Login.aspx during your renewal cycle. The portal also provides your wallet card (emailed after issuance and accessible anytime) and address updates. The board accepts checks, money orders, and Debit/Visa/MasterCard/Discover/American Express.

What happens if I miss the final deadline? ▾

On the day after the late window closes (August 1 for MDs, November 1 for DOs), the license status becomes Cancelled - Failure to Renew. Practicing after cancellation may subject you to disciplinary action. Reinstatement requires an application and a $400 fee, and the board may require additional testing, training, or education depending on the circumstances.

Can I switch to inactive or exempt status instead of paying the active fee? ▾

Yes. A status change can be requested at renewal, or outside the renewal cycle via the Designation/Type Change Form. Inactive and exempt licenses renew at $150. Converting back from inactive or exempt to active costs $175.

Do I need malpractice insurance to hold an active Kansas license? ▾

Yes. The Kansas Health Care Stabilization Fund Act requires physicians with an active Kansas license to maintain professional liability coverage of at least $500,000 per claim and $1,500,000 annual aggregate (K.S.A. 40-3402, 40-3404, 65-2809(c)).
