Maryland Health Occupations Section 12-320

      (a)      In investigating an allegation brought against a licensee under this title, if the Board has reason to believe that a licensee may cause harm to a person affected by the licensee's practice, the Board on its own initiative may direct the licensee to submit to an appropriate examination by a health care provider designated by the Board.

      (b)      In return for the privilege given to a licensee to practice pharmacy in the State, the licensee is deemed to have:

            (1)      Consented to submit to an examination under this section, if requested by the Board in writing; and

            (2)      Waived any claim of privilege as to the testimony or examination reports of a health care provider.

      (c)      The failure or refusal of a licensee to submit to an examination required under this section is prima facie evidence of the licensee's inability to practice pharmacy competently, unless the Board finds that the failure or refusal was beyond the control of the licensee.

      (d)      The Board shall pay the cost of any examination made under this section.
