N.M. Admin. Code § 16.21.9.9 - PODIATRIC PHYSICIAN TREATED WITH OPIATES
Podiatric physicians who have chronic pain and are being treated with opiates shall be evaluated by a pain clinic or, by an MD or DO pain specialist, and must have a complete, independent neuropsychological evaluation, as well as clearance from their physician, before returning to or continuing in practice. In addition, they must remain under the care of a physician for as long as they remain on opiates while continuing to practice.
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
