How NCPHP is funded

NCPHP is a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 organization, established in December 1988. Approximately one-half of the program’s funding is derived from the NC Medical Board based on a specific portion of each physician and physician assistant licensing fees. Other funding is provided in the form of annual contributions from the North Carolina Medical Society, some malpractice insurance companies, and concerned individuals.

NCPHP also asks for support from North Carolina hospitals and their medical staffs, and nearly one-fourth of the annual program budget is received from over 70% of these institutions and their staffs.
