Or. Admin. Code § 847-065-0035 - Procedure for Self-Referred Licensees

Board licensees may self-refer to the HPSP.

(1) Provisional Enrollment: To be provisionally enrolled in the program, a self-referred licensee must:

(a) Sign a written consent allowing disclosure and exchange of information among the contractor, the contractor's investigator, the licensee's employer, independent third-party evaluators and treatment providers;

(b) Sign a written consent allowing disclosure and exchange of information among the contractor, the Board, the licensee's employer, independent third-party evaluators and treatment providers in the event the contractor determines the licensee to be in substantial non-compliance with their monitoring agreement as defined in OAR 847-065-0065;

(c) Attest that the licensee is not, to the best of the licensee's knowledge, under investigation by the Board; and

(d) Agree to and sign a provisional enrollment agreement, which includes a statement that the licensee agrees to report to the contractor:

(A) Any arrest for or conviction of a misdemeanor or felony crime to the Board within three business days after the licensee is arrested or convicted.

(B) Any citation for the use or possession of any DEA scheduled substances, including but not limited to citations for Class E violations, within three business days of the citation.

(2) Final Enrollment: To move from provisional enrollment to final enrollment in the program, a self-referred licensee must:

(a) Obtain at the licensee's own expense and provide to the contractor, an independent third-party evaluator's written evaluation containing a DSM diagnosis and diagnostic code and treatment recommendations;

(b) Agree to cooperate with the contractor's investigation to determine whether the licensee's practice while impaired, as defined in OAR 847-010-0073, presents or has presented a danger to the public;

(c) Enter into a monitoring agreement; and

(d) Has met all eligibility requirements to participate in the HPSP.

(3) Once a self-referred licensee seeks enrollment in the HPSP, failure to successfully complete final enrollment, as outlined in section (2) of this rule, may constitute substantial non-compliance and may be reported to the Board.
