Prescriptive Delegation Waiver Requests
Keep it friendly!
The board has authority to waive or modify any of the site or
supervision requirements for a physician delegating prescriptive
authority to advanced practice nurses or physician assistants. But
the board’s rules state that the board may grant a waiver only if it
determines good cause exists to grant a waiver.
So what factors does the board take into account?
Let’s say you and your partner
in medical practice decide to go
your separate ways. It’s a lessthan-friendly split, and when
the departing physician requests
the contact information for his
patients, you’re tempted to be
unhelpful.
•
Whether the existing prescriptive delegation requirements
cause an undue burden to the patient population (not only to the
requestor) without corresponding benefit to patient care.
Take the high road instead – Texas Medical Board Rules require
it.
•
The quality and viability of safeguards that are proposed to
ensure continued quality of patient care.
Board Rule 165.5(c), Prohibition
Against Interference, stipulates
that:
•
The quality and viability of safeguards that are proposed
to foster a collaborative practice between the physician and the
physician assistant or advanced practice nurse.
•
The requestor’s type of primary practice and the type of
practice conducted at the site for which a waiver is requested,
including the populations served by the practices and duties assigned to mid-level practitioners.
•
Whether the proposed frequency and duration of time the
physician is on-site when the advanced practice nurse or physician assistant is present is sufficient for collaboration to occur,
taking into consideration the other ways the physician collaborates with the advanced practice nurse or physician assistant at
other sites.

Inside: Tick-borne disease awareness, Physician Health
Program fees lower in some circumstances, Neurosurgery
experts needed, and more.
(1) Other licensed physicians remaining in the practice
may not prevent the departing
physician from posting notice.
(2) A physician or physician group should not withhold
information from a departing
physician that is necessary for
notification of patients.
Physicians who violate this rule
may find themselves subject to
non-disciplinary remedial plans
or disciplinary orders.
The non-disciplinary remedial plans require payment of
a $500 administrative fee and
may include that the physician
complete continuing medical
education and/or passage of the
Medical Jurisprudence Exam.
***
Tick‐borne Disease Awareness in Texas Tick‐borne disease is a year‐round danger in Texas, but hunting season is a good time to remind everyone to take special precautions against ticks and be on alert for tick‐borne illnesses. Diseases reported in Texas that can be transmitted to humans via the bite of an infected tick include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Southern Tick‐Associated Rash Illness (STARI), Tularemia, and human Ehrlichiosis. TMB encourages physicians, especially those potentially treating patients with tick‐borne illnesses, to enhance their awareness and education of these diseases, including applicable treatment guidelines and methodologies, so that patient health and safety is addressed. In 2011, the 82nd Legislature passed legislation (HB 2975/SB 1360) that encourages physicians whose practice includes the treatment of tick‐borne diseases to take continuing medical education (CME) in the treatment of tick‐borne diseases. The new law requires the TMB and the Texas Board of Nursing take into consideration a physician ’s participation in an approved CME course if: (1) the physician is being investigated regarding the physician’s selection of clinical care for the treatment of tick‐borne diseases; and (2) the physician completed the course not more than two years before the start of the investigation. After receiving stakeholder input, TMB adopted applicable rules in April 2012 which became effective in May 2012. For more information: See Chapter 166, Physician Registration, Sec. 166.2(a)(6) and Chapter 190, Disciplinary Guidelines, Sec. 190.15(b)(6) in the TMB Rules: http://www.tmb.state.tx.us/rules/rules/bdrules.php Visit the Texas Department of State Health Services Infectious Disease Control Unit at: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/idcu/default.shtm http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/idcu/health/tick_borne_disease/ Physician Health Program fees lower in certain circumstances Participation in the Texas Physician Health Program (TXPHP), which serves physicians, physician assistants, acupuncturists, and surgical assistants affected by substance use disorders, physical illnesses and impairment, and/or psychiatric conditions, costs $1,200 per year. However, there are exceptions: •
Medical residents pay $600 the first year, and $1,200 thereafter. •
•
The administrative fee for an evaluation only is $300, which is applied to the annual fee if the individual decides to enroll. Participants experiencing financial hardship that can be demonstrated with a W‐2 form pay $300 the first year and $600 thereafter. TXPHP had 313 participants as of early October, with 211 referred by the Texas Medical Board and 102 self‐referred. For more information, please call 512‐305‐7462. Visit TXPHP on the web at: www.txphp.state.tx.us/
Electronic Death Registration — Action Required! If you will EVER be called upon to sign a death certificate, you MUST register NOW with the Texas Department of State Health Services to file the certificate electronically. If you fail to do so, the Texas Medical Board may take disciplinary action against you. The extended “grace period” that you were given in order to allow you more time to register ended on June 1, 2011, and TMB IS enforcing the law. You cannot wait until a death has occurred in order to register; that’s too late, because it takes DSHS seven‐10 business days to process new enrollments. If you end up having to complete a paper death certificate because you didn’t timely register for electronic filing, the Texas Medical Board may take action based on the violation. To register for electronic filing, follow this link: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/vs/field/ If you have problems registering, send an email to help‐[email protected] or call the TER Help Desk line at 888‐963‐7111 ext. 3490. See Tex. Health and Safety Code, §193.005 http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/HS/htm/HS.193.htm. Neurosurgery experts needed TMB is critically short of neurosurgery expert panelists to review records related to TMB complaint investigations. Expert panelists review records and write reports stating why the standard of care was or was not met in the situation under investigation. Expert panelists must be in active practice, licensed in Texas, board‐certified and not have any TMB disciplinary orders. For more information, email TMB Medical Director Robert Bredt, M.D., at [email protected] Formal Complaints Formal Complaints have been filed with the State Office of Administrative Hearings against the individuals listed below. Formal Complaints are public documents and are posted on physician profiles on the TMB web site.

year training program to delete that residency training required for certification must be acceptable for board certification. The amendment to §163.2, concerning Full Texas Medical License, amends the rule to clarify that licensure applicants who are foreign medical school graduates, including Fifth pathways, must demonstrate board certification at time of application or prior to licensure during the licensure application process if physician intends to use board certification as an alternate grounds for eligibility. The amendment to §163.11, concerning Active Practice of Medicine, amends the rule to provide remedies for out of active practice issues and to allow for granting a license under a remedial plan. CHAPTER 171, POSTGRADUATE TRAINING PERMITS: The amendment to §171.3, concerning Physician‐in‐
Training Permits, amends the rule to exempt applicants for PIT rotator permits from having to submit medical records or otherwise have staff review impairment issues as part of the application process. The amendment to §171.6, concerning Duties of Program Directors to Report, changes a single reference of "PIT holder" to "physician" since program director reporting requirements apply to all participants, not just PIT holders. CHAPTER 172, TEMPORARY AND LIMITED LICENSES: The amendment to §172.5, concerning Visiting Physician Temporary Permits, allows additional grounds for eligibility for Visiting Physician Temporary Permits, including emergency disaster, forensic psychiatric evaluations for criminal matters, and specialized care, when good cause is shown. The amendment to §172.12, concerning Out‐of‐State Telemedicine Licenses, clarifies that a physician may be denied an out‐of‐state telemedicine license based on §155.003(e) of the Act. CHAPTER 177, BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS: Amendment to §177.17, concerning the Exceptions to Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine, provides an exception to doctrine for rural health clinics that meet the requirements of 42 CFR 491.8. CHAPTER 180, TEXAS PHYSICIAN HEALTH PROGRAM AND REHABILITATION ORDERS: The amendment to §180.4, concerning Operation of Program, amends the procedures for the handling of referrals to the Board from the TXPHP for violation of agreements of TXPHP agreements with program participants. Chapter 187, PROCEDURAL RULES: Amendment to §187.18 concerning Informal Show Compliance Proceeding and Settlement Conference Based on Personal Appearance, deletes language relating to deadline requirements for submission of rebuttal materials that is in conflict with other provisions of the rule and the Medical Practice Act, and §187.83 concerning Proceedings for Cease and Desist Orders, deletes language requiring a panel member to sign cease and desist order, as rule already provides for executive director to sign order. CHAPTER 189, COMPLIANCE PROGRAM: The amendments to §§189.1 ‐ 189.3, 189.5, 189.6, 189.8 and 189.11 add language related to remedial plans to be consistent with provisions under Chapter 187, additionally the amendment to §189.7 adds language related to remedial plans to be consistent with provisions under Chapter 187, including that probationers may not request modification or termination of remedial plans unless specifically allowed under the terms of the probationer's remedial plan. The amendment to §189.9 adds language related to remedial plans to be consistent with provisions under Chapter 187, including that automatic suspensions are permitted for violating terms of a remedial plan to include failure to pass SPEX or JP examinations. CHAPTER 190, DISCIPLINARY GUIDELINES: The amendment to §190.8, concerning Violation Guidelines, provides the standard for physician delegation of the performance of nerve conduction studies by individuals who are not licensed as physicians or physical therapists. The amendment to §190.14, concerning Disciplinary Sanction Guidelines, amends the range and scope of sanctions for violations of the Medical Practice Act. CHAPTER 197, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE: The amendment to §197.2, concerning Definitions, adds the definition for Emergency Medical Services provider to be consistent with rules by the Texas Department of State Health Services. The amendment to §197.3, concerning Off‐line Medical Directors, sets out additional requirements to be an off‐line medical director including CME, requires off‐line medical directors to register with the Board, requires off‐line medical directors to have written protocols for those that they supervise, directs off‐line medical directors to approve care only for times when employed as an off‐line medical director, and sets limits on number of EMS providers a physician may serve as an off‐line medical director. The amendment also provides process for waivers of requirements. New Standardized Autopsy Request Form Required for All Autopsies Performed in Texas In 2011, a new law regulating consent to perform autopsies went into effect (HB 1009; CCP Art. 49.32). It explicitly set forth the process to consent to an autopsy, detailed the hierarchy for those who may consent to an autopsy and guaranteed certain rights to those requesting an autopsy. A lesser known provision was to have the Commissioner of State Health Services, in consultation with the Texas Medical Board, prescribe a standard written consent form for a postmortem examination or autopsy. The consent form was completed in April 2012 and is available on the DSHS website (www.dshs.state.tx.us/New‐Autopsy‐Consent‐
Form.shtm). To be in compliance with state law, physicians and pathologists must obtain the written informed consent of a person authorized to provide consent utilizing the form prescribed. Even if facilities develop their own forms, this mandated form must be used. This form IS NOT required if an autopsy is ordered by a Justice of the Peace or Medical Examiners as part of a death inquest or ordered by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. New Physician Licenses The Texas Medical Board issued
1,469 physician licenses
between June 23, 2012 and
December 19, 2012.
