     176.1361 Testimony of providers. 


    When the commissioner, a compensation judge, or the court 
 of appeals has reason to believe that a medical or other 
 provider of treatment services has submitted false testimony or 
 a false report in any proceeding under this chapter, the 
 commissioner, compensation judge, or the court of appeals shall 
 refer the matter to an appropriate licensing body or other 
 professional certifying organization for review and 
 recommendations.  Based upon their recommendation, the Medical 
 Services Review Board, after hearing, may bar the provider from 
 making an appearance, and disallow the admission into evidence 
 of written reports of the provider, in any proceeding under this 
 chapter for a period not to exceed one year in the first 
 instance and three years in the second instance, and may 
 permanently bar the provider from appearance and the provider's 
 reports from admission in evidence thereafter.
