Section 16.2.19.16 - EXPANDED PRACTICE CERTIFICATION RENEWAL
If a doctor of oriental medicine certified for expanded prescriptive authority does not complete all expanded prescriptive authority continuing education requirements specified in 16.2.9.9 NMAC before the end of the sixty (60) day grace period, the expanded prescriptive authority certification is expired and that licensee shall not be certified for expanded prescriptive authority until the continuing education is completed. Provided that all other renewal requirements have been received by the board, such a licensee shall continue to be licensed as a doctor of oriental medicine and is authorized for that scope of practice but shall not be authorized for the relevant expanded prescriptive authority scope of practice. For an expired expanded prescriptive authority certification, if a properly completed application for certification renewal, including proof of completion of the required expanded prescriptive authority continuing education, is received at the board office within one (1) year of the last regular renewal date, the expanded prescriptive authority certification shall be renewed if all the requirements of late certification renewal during the sixty (60) day grace period provided by Section 61-14A-15 NMSA 1978 are completed, in addition to the requirements of 16.2.8.11 NMAC, and the licensee also pays the fee for expired certification renewal specified in 16.2.10 NMAC. The licensee must notify the board of the correct current mailing address and of any address changes within ten (10) days of the change. A doctor of oriental medicine who fails to renew an expired license by the next July 31 annual license renewal date or who fails to complete any required continuing education specific to his prescriptive authority certification shall be required to reapply as a new applicant for expanded practice, certification the expired license number of any doctor of oriental medicine certified in expanded practice who fails to renew in a timely manner in accordance with board rules. The Board will promptly report to the board of Pharmacy when the expired license is renewed or reinstated.
