Iowa Admin. Code r. 653-9.12 - Renewal of a permanent or administrative medicine license
(1)
Licensee obligation. The licensee is responsible for renewing
the license prior to its expiration. Failure of the licensee to receive notice
does not relieve the licensee of responsibility for renewing that
license.
(2)
Renewal
application requirements. A licensee seeking renewal shall submit a
completed renewal application; information on continuing education, training on
chronic pain management, training on end-of-life care, and training on
identifying and reporting abuse; and the required fee prior to the expiration
date on the current license.
a. Renewal fee.
(1) The fees for renewal are specified in
653-subparagraph 8.4(1)"c"(1).
(2) There is no renewal fee due for a
physician who was on active duty in the U.S. armed forces, reserves or national
guard during the renewal period.
(3) A physician who fails to renew before the
expiration of the license is charged a penalty fee as set forth in
653-paragraph 8.4(1)"d."
b. The requirements for continuing education
and training on identifying and reporting abuse are found in 653-Chapter
11.
(3)
Issuance
of a renewal. Upon receipt of the completed renewal application, staff
will administratively issue a two-year license that expires on the first day of
the licensee's birth month. In the event the board receives adverse information
on the renewal application, the board will issue the renewal license but may
refer the adverse information for further consideration.
(4)
Failure to renew. The
license will become inactive and invalid if the licensee fails to renew a
license within two months following its expiration date. A licensee whose
license is invalid or inactive is prohibited from practice until the license is
reactivated in accordance with rule
653-9.15 (147,148).
(5)
Display of license.
Renewal licenses shall be displayed along with the license certificate in the
primary location of practice.
