“... copy of their certified transcript that documents completion/graduation from the program. ”
I haven’t graduated from my program yet. Can I get my temporary RCP license now?
No. All applicants are required to submit a copy of their certified transcript that documents completion/graduation from the program.
“No, neither the Medical Practice Act nor the Nursing Practice Act authorize independent practice by a CRNA. Additionally, Texas Attorney General Opinion No. KP-0266 found “A certified registered nurse anesthetist does not possess independent authority to administer anesthesia without del ... ”
Are CRNA’s authorized to practice independent of physician supervision and delegation?
No, neither the Medical Practice Act nor the Nursing Practice Act authorize independent practice by a CRNA. Additionally, Texas Attorney General Opinion No. KP-0266 found “A certified registered nurse anesthetist does not possess independent authority to administer anesthesia without delegation by a physician.” (Page 5). Since the selection and administration of anesthesia is a medical act, CRNAs must be properly delegated this act by a physician. A CRNA who administers anesthesia without proper delegation from a physician would be liable for the unlicensed practice of medicine.
“... w to register their delegating physicians, as the Medical Board does not have licensing authority for nurses. ”
Do I have to let the Medical Board know about my delegates/supervising physicians?
Yes, if you are a physician or a physician assistant.
Physicians are required to register all PAs and APRNs that they supervise prior to the delegates beginning to work for them. If there is a change to the scope of the delegation, physicians must notify the Board within 30 days of this change.
PAs are likewise required to register their supervising physicians with the Board prior to beginning to practice under the employment or prescriptive authority agreement. They are also required to notify the Board within 30 days of any change to the scope of the delegation.
APRNs should look to guidance provided by the Texas Board of Nursing for how to register their delegating physicians, as the Medical Board does not have licensing authority for nurses.
“As with all medical records documentation, the notation must be contemporaneous, legible and provide complete information. In this case, complete information would include the date of the review and the identity of the provider who reviewed the information. ... ”
What amount of detail must be in the documentation of the PMP check?
As with all medical records documentation, the notation must be contemporaneous, legible and provide complete information. In this case, complete information would include the date of the review and the identity of the provider who reviewed the information.
“... ains information accurate up to 24 hours prior to completion of the check. ”
How far ahead of time can I check the PMP?
There is nothing that discusses how far ahead of time the PMP check can be undertaken, however the reason for the requirement is to ensure that prescribers have as much information as possible in order to make informed decisions about prescribing certain controlled substances. If the PMP check is completed too far ahead of time, then there may be new information in the PMP that the prescriber is not considering.
The PMP is updated on a 24-hour basis and therefore contains information accurate up to 24 hours prior to completion of the check.
“Currently, each individual physician who needs a waiver will have to apply for their own individual waiver. Although this may change in the future, TMB is currently unable to track waivers by group. ”
Does everyone at my practice have to apply for a waiver or just the medical director?
Currently, each individual physician who needs a waiver will have to apply for their own individual waiver. Although this may change in the future, TMB is currently unable to track waivers by group.
“... th the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Records and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. ”
Can I get my fingerprints done anywhere?
Not at this time. Fingerprinting services are provided through IdentoGo by IDEMIA (formerly known as MorphoTrust USA, LLC) for a fee, payable directly to IdentoGo. Results of the fingerprinting will be sent directly to TMB from both the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Records and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Why does the application ask about my mental and physical health status?
The Board understands that medical or mental health treatment is a normal part of many people's lives and receiving treatment such as counseling or therapy does not alone disqualify a licensee. However, the Board is obligated to determine whether a licensee is physically and mentally fit to practice and, therefore, must inquire to the extent necessary to make this determination. While the application does include a question pertaining to impairment, the question has been thoughtfully written to limit overly broad probing language that might dissuade health professionals from seeking treatment and reporting their conditions.

Why am I asked about my mental and physical health status during renewal?
The Board understands that medical or mental health treatment is a normal part of many people's lives and receiving treatment such as counseling or therapy does not alone disqualify a licensee. However, the Board is obligated to determine whether a licensee is physically and mentally fit to practice and, therefore, must inquire to the extent necessary to make this determination. While the renewal process does include a question pertaining to impairment, the question has been thoughtfully written to limit overly broad probing language that might dissuade health professionals from seeking treatment and reporting their conditions.
