315.522 Reciprocity with bordering states.
(1)
(2)
(a)
The board may grant a license on the basis of reciprocity to a home medical
equipment and services provider located in one (1) of Kentucky's seven (7)
contiguous bordering states that licenses home medical equipment and
services providers if:
1.
The out-of-state provider physically located in one (1) of Kentucky's
seven (7) contiguous bordering states possesses a valid license from a
jurisdiction that grants the same privileges to persons licensed by the
Commonwealth as the Commonwealth grants to persons licensed by the
other jurisdiction;
2.
The requirements for licensure in the contiguous bordering state,
including but not limited to a requirement for a physical location in the
state as a condition of issuing or renewing a license, are substantially
similar to the requirements under KRS 315.510 to 315.524; and
3.
The out-of-state provider seeking licensure states that he or she has
studied, is familiar with, and shall abide by KRS 315.510 to 315.524 and
the administrative regulations promulgated thereunder.
(b) 1.
Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, the board may grant a
license on the basis of reciprocity to a home medical equipment and
services provider physically located in one (1) of Kentucky's seven (7)
contiguous bordering states that does not license home medical
equipment and services providers if the out-of-state provider seeking to
operate in Kentucky states by affidavit that he or she has studied, is
familiar with, and shall abide by KRS 315.510 to 315.524 and the
administrative regulations promulgated thereunder; and
2.
The contiguous bordering state grants the same privileges to persons
licensed in the Commonwealth as the Commonwealth grants to
providers from the state described in paragraph (b)1. of this subsection.
If the requirements for licensure under KRS 315.510 to 315.524 and the
administrative regulations promulgated thereunder are more restrictive than the
standards of a contiguous jurisdiction, then the out-of-state provider shall comply
with the additional requirements of KRS 315.510 to 315.524 to obtain a reciprocal
license.
