Section 4734-7-03 - Continuing education credit for providing health care to indigent and uninsured persons as a volunteer
Current through all regulations passed and filed through March 18, 2024
(A) Licensees may satisfy up to twelve hours of CE credit by providing health care services as a volunteer to an indigent and uninsured person(s) in accordance with section 4745.04 of the Revised Code.
(B) Providing health care to indigent and uninsured persons as a volunteer means providing diagnosis, care, or treatment without the expectation of receiving and without receipt of any compensation or other form of remuneration from an indigent and uninsured person, another person on behalf of an indigent and uninsured person, any health care facility or location, any nonprofit health care referral organization, or any other person or government entity.
(C) Licensees must satisfy the requirements of section 2305.234 of the Revised Code to qualify for the immunity from liability granted under that section. Continuing education credit received in accordance with section 4745.04 of the Revised Code for providing health care services is not compensation or any other form of remuneration for purposes of section 2305.234 of the Revised Code and does not make the licensee ineligible for the immunity from liability granted under that section.
(D) As defined in section 2305.234 of the Revised Code, an indigent and uninsured shall meet both of the following requirements:
(E) Documentation of CE credit for providing health care to indigent and uninsured persons as a volunteer shall be in writing in the form of a certificate or a written statement on letterhead from an administrative official at the organization where services were rendered, specifying at a minimum the date(s) the activity occurred, the time devoted toward the activity, and an attestation that the individuals for which services were provided meet the requirements of paragraphs (D)(1) and (D)(2) of this rule. One credit hour equals sixty minutes spent providing health care services as a volunteer.
(F) CE hours earned providing health care services as a volunteer to an indigent and uninsured person(s) shall not be claimed as board mandated CE credit.
