30 Miss. Code. R. 2301-1.57 - BOARD REGULATION NUMBER 57-CONSULTATIVE OR OPERATIVE TREATMENT BY DENTISTS NOT LICENSED IN MISSISSIPPI
Purpose: To define a licensed Mississippi dentist's responsibilities when, pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. § 73-9-3(e), a licensed dentist from outside the State of Mississippi is called into Mississippi for consultative or operative purposes.
1. Whenever a licensed Mississippi dentist
determines it necessary to secure the services of a dentist not licensed by
this State who must enter Mississippi to provide consultative or operative
treatment, the Mississippi dentist must submit a written request for Board
approval. Approval of such requests will be determined on a case-by-case basis
and according to the required documentation provided to the Board.
2. Such request must denote the reasons for
the consultative or operative treatment; the name, license number, and brief
practice history of the dentist licensed outside the State of Mississippi; a
certificate of good standing from the state wherein the dentist licensed
outside the State of Mississippi is currently practicing; evidence from the
insurance carrier of malpractice insurance coverage while practicing in
Mississippi; and the maximum amount of time the dentist licensed outside the
State of Mississippi will be providing consultative or operative services for
the benefit of the licensed Mississippi dentist.
3. The licensed Mississippi dentist must
assume full and complete responsibility for any and all patient care and
treatment provided by the dentist licensed outside the State of Mississippi
while such dentist is treating the patient(s) of the licensed Mississippi
dentist, and a sworn affidavit to this effect must accompany the request for
Board approval.
4. If during the
course of patient care and treatment it is determined that an extension of time
is required for the dentist licensed outside the State of Mississippi, a
written request must be submitted forthwith to the Board stating the reasons
for such an extension of time. However, unless prior Board approval has been
received, at no time shall the dentist licensed outside the State of
Mississippi provide patient care and treatment beyond the maximum amount of
time initially requested by the licensed Mississippi dentist; otherwise, the
licensed Mississippi dentist may be subject to disciplinary action by the
Board.
5. The Board shall set a
period of time for which permission for the consultative or operative treatment
shall be in effect.
