(a) In an effort to expeditiously resolve disputed issues, mediation may be held through State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) in compliance with §155.37 of SOAH rules.
(1) Board members
and District Review Committee (DRC) members are not parties to actions pending
before SOAH, and accordingly will not be ordered or expected to attend Mediated
Settlement Conferences (MSCs) before SOAH. Board members and DRC members who
attended the informal show compliance proceeding will be invited by board staff
to attend the MSC. If the board and DRC members who attended the informal show
compliance proceeding are unable to attend the MSC, then other members of the
board and DRC may be invited to attend the MSC. In appropriate cases, board
staff will make every effort to have a physician-member present.
(2) All proposed mediated agreed orders are
not considered final until they are approved by the board.
(3) All mediated agreed orders shall be in
writing and shall contain findings of facts, conclusions of law and board
actions consistent with §
187.9 of
this title (relating to Board Actions).
(b) The costs of mediation shall be borne equally by the parties, unless proof through affidavit and other reliable records such as tax returns show that a party is incapable of paying part of the costs of mediation.
