49 Pa. Code § 25.243 - Boundary license
(a) A licensed
osteopathic physician residing in or maintaining an office of practice in an
adjoining state near the boundary line between that state and this Commonwealth
whose practice extends into this Commonwealth shall apply for the privilege, in
the form of a boundary license, to practice osteopathic medicine and surgery in
this Commonwealth.
(b) Specific
requirements for boundary licensure are as follows. The applicant shall:
(1) Possess a valid, current and unrestricted
license in the physician's state of residence and primary practice. The
physician shall arrange for certification of licensure to be transmitted to the
Board by the authorized licensing body of that state.
(2) Comply with the malpractice insurance
requirements of the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error (MCARE)
Act (40 P.S. §§
1303.101-1303.910) and regulations
thereunder.
(2.1) Complete at least
3 hours of mandatory training in child abuse recognition and reporting in

(relating to child abuse recognition and reporting-mandatory training
requirement).
(3) Submit an
application obtained from the Board, together with the required
fee.
(c) The issuance of
a boundary license depends upon whether the adjoining state of licensure
reciprocates by extending similar privileges to licensees of the
Commonwealth.
(d) A record of
persons granted a boundary license will be maintained in the office of the
Board.
(e) Since a boundary license
is invalidated by practice location changes, a person granted a boundary
license shall inform the Board within 10 days of changes in residence or office
of practice location which affect the maintenance of the license.
