What is the penalty for renewing past the expiration date?
There is no grace period for the expiration date of a Respiratory Care Practitioner permit. Once the expiration date has occurred, a penalty fee equal to one half of the registration fee will be added. After 90 days, the penalty fee will increase to equal a full registration fee. If a license has been expired for one year or longer it is automatically cancelled.
“Applications are submitted online. Please review the NCT page in our Licensure section for additional requirements and instructions. ”
How do I apply for the NCT registry?
Applications are submitted online. Please review the NCT page in our Licensure section for additional requirements and instructions.
“... n 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 ac ... ”
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.
“... atus for two years or longer, the request must be reviewed by the Licensure Committee of the Board. Please contact the Registration department for information on the approval procedure. ”
My physician license is currently in a retired status. How to I return it to an active status so I can practice?
To return to practice from retired status, a physician must obtain approval of the Board after submitting a written request. If a physician has been on official retired status for two years or longer, the request must be reviewed by the Licensure Committee of the Board. Please contact the Registration department for information on the approval procedure.
“... dical 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.
“... omplete 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.
“... that the PMP has been checked and that they have reviewed and taken into account any relevant information prior to issuing a prescription. ”
Is only the prescriber allowed to check the PMP, or can someone else check on behalf of the physician?
A physician, their delegated midlevel provider, or any other qualified and licensed individual delegated authority to check the PMP may do so on behalf of the prescriber. Ultimately though, it is the prescriber’s responsibility to ensure that the PMP has been checked and that they have reviewed and taken into account any relevant information prior to issuing a prescription.
“... re information on how to submit a request, please review the Pharmacy Board’s Patient Access Program page, found here: https://www.pharmacy.texas.gov/patient-access/ ”
May patients or patient guardians request a copy of their PMP history, including who has accessed that history?
Yes. A patient, the patient’s parent or legal guardian if the patient is a minor, or the patient’s legal guardian if the patient is an incapacitated person, may receive a copy of the patient’s PMP record, including a list of who has accessed that record.
For more information on how to submit a request, please review the Pharmacy Board’s Patient Access Program page, found here: https://www.pharmacy.texas.gov/patient-access/
“... rofile page will list the waiver status. For nurse practitioners: APRN waivers are determined by the Texas Board of Nursing. Information on the waiver process for the APRNs is available on the Texas Board of Nursing Website. ”
Do delegates who have prescribing authority have to apply for their own waiver or are they covered by the supervising physician’s waiver?
If the supervising physician has a waiver, then the prescribing delegate is also covered under that waiver. So long as the prescribing delegate is prescribing under the authority of a physician who has been granted a waiver, then the prescribing delegate may use non-electronic prescribing means. If a prescribing delegate is issuing a prescription under the authority of a physician who does not have a waiver, then the prescribing delegate must issue the prescription via e-prescribing.
If an individual wants to look up whether a prescribing delegate has a waver they can do so as listed below:
For physician assistants: A PA’s waiver status will not be viewable on their TMB public profile. Each PA’s public profile has a link to their supervising physician’s profile page. The physician’s profile page will list the waiver status.
For nurse practitioners: APRN waivers are determined by the Texas Board of Nursing. Information on the waiver process for the APRNs is available on the Texas Board of Nursing Website.
“... o; If you want to verify that a PA or nurse practitioner has a waiver, you will have to look at the delegating physician’s public profile. You can look up a prescriber’s public profile here: Look up a LicenseNOTE: Per the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, a “pharmaci ... ”
How can someone determine if a practitioner has a waiver?
If a physician has a waiver from e-prescribing, it is viewable on their public profile page, under the section entitled “Verified Information.” If you want to verify that a PA or nurse practitioner has a waiver, you will have to look at the delegating physician’s public profile. You can look up a prescriber’s public profile here: Look up a License
NOTE: Per the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, a “pharmacist is not responsible for ensuring there is a waiver. In addition, there is no requirement of the pharmacist to ensure an appropriate waiver is granted.”
