Section 416-15-2 - Assurance of Examination by Physician

For purposes of "psychosocial evaluation" as defined in 32 M.R.S. § 7001- A(10), a licensee has assured that a client has been examined by a physician in the course of psychosocial evaluation when the client has been encouraged to be examined and has been informed of the law requiring such assurance. If the client refuses this recommendation, or if a physician decides that an examination is not warranted or otherwise declines to provide the examination, the decision must be documented.
