Chapter 360-10 - INSTITUTIONAL LICENSES
Rule 360-10-.04 - Renewal

(1) Each licensee shall notify the Board within thirty (30) days, in writing, of all changes of address. Any mailing or notice from the Board shall be considered to be served on the licensee when sent to the licensee's last address on file with the Board.

(2) All active licenses must be renewed every two years. This may be done via the internet or through mail. A medical licensee may not practice medicine after the expiration date of the license. Institutional licenses expire biennially on June 30th and the licensee must establish satisfaction of Board-approved continuing education requirements to be eligible for renewal.

(3) To be eligible for renewal, the license holder must furnish certification that he or she continues to be an employee of the Institution where he or she is employed as indicated on the renewal form, complete Board approved continuing education of not less than 40 hours of Category I AMA approved credits annually and submit the appropriate fee.

(4) Licensees have the right to obtain a late renewal of their licenses during the three (3) month period immediately following the expiration date. During this period, the penalty fee for late renewal applies.

(5) The Board shall administratively revoke any license not renewed prior to the expiration of the late renewal period. Such revocation removes all rights and privileges to practice medicine and surgery in this State. A licensee who is so revoked must re-apply for licensure to be considered for reinstatement. Revocation for failure to renew may be reported to the public and to other state licensing boards, and will be reported as a revocation for failure to renew. Revocation for failure to renew is not considered a disciplinary revocation. However, the license may only be reinstated through application.

(6) The fee for renewals and late renewals shall be designated in the fee schedule. Deposit of the renewal fee by the Board does not indicate acceptance of the renewal application or that any permit requirements have been fulfilled.
