Regulation 3 - Verification of medical information; issuance, denial, revocation, and form of registry identification cards
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 5, March 10, 2024
A. The department shall verify medical information contained in the patient's application within thirty days of receiving the application. Verification of medical information shall consist of determining that there is documentation stating the applicant has a current diagnosis with a debilitating or disabling medical condition as defined in Regulation 6, by a physician who has a current active, unrestricted and unconditioned license to practice medicine issued by the State of Colorado, which license is in good standing, and who has a bona fide physician-patient relationship with the patient.
B. No more than five days after verifying medical information of the applicant, the department shall issue a serially numbered registry identification card to the patient. The card shall state the following:
C. Except for minor applicants with a debilitating medical condition, where the department fails within thirty-five days of receipt of application to issue a registry identification card or fails to issue verbal or written notice of denial of such application, the patient's application for such card will be deemed to have been approved. "Receipt" shall be deemed to have occurred upon delivery to the department or deposit in the United States mail.
D. The department shall deny the application if it determines that information has been falsified or it cannot verify the medical information as provided in paragraph A of this regulation. A patient whose application has been denied by the department may not reapply during the six months following the date of denial. The denial of a registry identification card shall be considered a final agency action.
E. In addition to any other penalties provided by law, the department shall revoke for a period of one year the registry identification card of any patient found to have willfully violated the provisions of Section 14 of Amendment 20 of the Colorado Constitution or § 25-1.5-106, C.R.S.
