33-26-403. Impaired physicians.

(a) The board may order a licensee to undergo one (1) or more mental, physical or medical competency examinations by examiners deemed appropriate by the board if it has reasonable cause to believe that the licensee may be impaired. If a disciplinary proceeding is pending against the licensee at the time of the order, the proceeding shall be stayed until the results of the examination have been finalized and submitted to the board.

(b) Every licensee is deemed to have consented to and shall submit to a board ordered mental, physical, or medical competency examination and to have waived all objections to the production of the report of the examination to the board and the admissibility of the report of the examination in any board proceedings in which the licensee is or may become a respondent. If a licensee fails to submit to an examination when ordered by the board, the board may initiate a disciplinary proceeding against the licensee or amend a pending complaint to include a claim based upon a violation of this section.

(c) Repealed by Laws 2006, Chapter 58, 2.

(d) The licensee may submit additional information to the board, including but not limited to medical reports, consultations or laboratory reports obtained through an examination performed by a practitioner designated by the licensee.

(e) The results of any board ordered mental, physical competency or medical competency examination shall be provided to the licensee and the board prior to any further board action.
