068-7 Wyo. Code R. §§ 7-1 - Determination of Mental or Physical Impairment
(a) If the Board
has reasonable grounds to suspect that an individual licensed or certified
under this act or an applicant may be using controlled substances or lacks the
mental or physical capacity to practice with reasonable skill and safety to
patients or clients, the Board may:
(i) Order
the individual to submit to a psychological evaluation by one of three
psychologists designated by the Board and selected by the individual;
and
(ii) Order the individual to
submit to a physical or other medical evaluation by one of three physicians
designated by the Board and selected by the individual.
(b) Refusal of an individual or applicant to
submit to such examination within a reasonable time or to release the results
of such examination shall be just cause for the denial of application, refusal
to renew, suspension or limitation of the individual's license or certification
until such an examination is completed and the Board has made a determination
of fitness to practice with reasonable skill and safety.
(c) If the Board determines that the
individual in question is not qualified to practice with reasonable skill and
safety, then this finding shall constitute grounds for the revocation,
suspension, or limitation of the license or certification to practice or the
denial of the application to practice in this jurisdiction.
(d) Any individual whose license or
certification to practice is denied, revoked, suspended or otherwise limited,
or applicant whose application is denied due to a finding of mental or physical
impairment has a right to appeal the action of the Board pursuant to the
provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act.
(e) When mental or physical capacity to
practice is at issue, every individual licensed or certified to practice in
this jurisdiction or any applicant shall be deemed to have consented to submit
to a mental or physical examination or any combination of such examinations and
to waive all objections to the admissibility of such examinations or to
previously adjudicated evidence of a mental or physical impairment.
