Iowa Admin. Code r. 653-14.7 - Terms of participation
A
(1)
Duration. Length of participation in the program can vary from
one to five years depending on the individual participant 's diagnosis,
recommendations from approved evaluators and treatment providers, and the IPHC
following a review of all relevant information. A contract shall only terminate
once the IPHC has determined that the licensee is no longer impaired.
(2)
Noncompliance. A
participant is responsible for promptly notifying the IPHC of all instances of
noncompliance including a relapse. Notification of noncompliance made to the
IPHC by the participant , any person responsible for monitoring or treating the
participant , or another party shall result in the following:
a.
First instance. Upon
receiving notification of a first instance of significant noncompliance
including, but not limited to, a relapse, the IPHC shall make a report to the
board which identifies the participant by IPHP case number, describes the
relevant terms of the participant 's contract and the noncompliance, and
includes the IPHC 's recommendation as to whether the participant should remain
in the program . Upon receiving the report, the board shall determine if formal
disciplinary charges should be filed, pursuant to 653-subrule
23.1(12).
b.
Second
instance. Upon receiving notification of a second instance of
significant noncompliance including, but not limited to, a relapse, the IPHC
shall refer the case and the participant 's identity to the board for a
determination of whether formal disciplinary charges should be filed or other
appropriate action taken. In its referral, the IPHC may make recommendations as
to whether the participant should be allowed to remain in the
program .
(3)
Practice restrictions. The IPHC may impose restrictions on the
license to practice the applicable profession as a term of the initial
agreement or contract until such time as it receives a report from an approved
evaluator and the IPHC determines, based on all relevant information, that the
participant is capable of practicing with reasonable skill and safety. As a
condition of participation in the program , a participant is required to agree
to restrict practice in accordance with the terms specified in the initial
agreement or contract . In the event that a participant refuses to agree to or
comply with the restrictions established in the initial agreement or contract ,
the IPHC shall refer the participant to the board for appropriate
action.
