Rule 360-8-.06 - Renewals and Continuing Education
Current through Rules and Regulations filed through March 20, 2024
(1) All active licenses must be renewed every two years. This may be done through mail. A pain management clinic may not operate after the expiration date of the license. A license must be renewed biennially by June 30th, and the licensee must establish satisfaction of Board-approved continuing education requirements to be eligible for renewal.
(2) All physicians owning and/or practicing in a pain management clinic must biennially document competence to the Board for purposes of renewal by providing one of the following:
(3) 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 for late renewal applies. A pain management clinic may not operate after the expiration date of the license.
(4) The fee for renewals and late renewals shall be designated in the fee schedule.
(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 operate a pain management clinic in this State. A license that is so revoked may only be reinstated in the sole discretion of the Board. 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.
