Section 11-16-9 - Required Reporting

9.1. Any person who holds a practice credential issued by the Board shall submit a written report to the Board in conformity with the provisions of W. Va. Code § 30-3-14(b)(5) if he or she reasonably believes that a person licensed or otherwise authorized to practice by the Board has:

9.1.1. Exercised influence within a provider-physician relationship for the purpose of engaging a patient in sexual activity; or

9.1.2. Engaged in other sexual misconduct with a patient.

Provided, that a person does not have an individual obligation to submit a report if the person's knowledge is gained solely through participation on a medical staff committee tasked with investigation and other peer review activities.
