Section 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) The expense of such examinations shall be borne by the Board.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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.

(f) 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.
