This physician’s profile shows “Registration Status: Suspended, Active”. How can a license be suspended and active at the same time?
The registration status “Suspended, Active” is a suspended status. A license in this status is not an active license to practice medicine in Texas. However, a licensee with this status has maintained their registration requirements while the license is suspended, and should that suspension be lifted, the license can return to an active status without additional registration requirements.

“... such an act was validly delegated to a CNRA by a physician, the act is considered to be within the practice of nursing and governed by the Nursing Practice Act.

Is a CRNA under a valid delegation order, subject to discipline by the Texas Medical Board under the Medical Practice Act for a violation of the standard of care in the selection and administration of anesthesia or the care of an anesthetized patient?
No, while the selection and administration of anesthesia is a medical act, if such an act was validly delegated to a CNRA by a physician, the act is considered to be within the practice of nursing and governed by the Nursing Practice Act. Any discipline for a violation of the standard of care by a CRNA would be carried out by the Texas Board of Nursing under the authority of the Nursing Practice Act. Ultimate responsibility and accountability for the medical management of a patient under anesthesia remains with the delegating physician who may be subject to discipline for improper delegation dependent upon the facts and circumstances of each case, and how state statutes and regulations apply in those situations.
“... , diagnostics or assessments as documented by the physician."Non-biographical data/information is data that will typically change from visit to visit. For example, many EMR systems bring forward from the previous encounter non-biographical information such as symptoms, diagnosis, vitals, lab levels, ... ”
What is "non-biographical" information as it pertains to an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)?
165.1(a) (10) now requires the following:
"All non-biographical populated fields, contained in a patient's electronic medical record, must contain accurate data and information pertaining to the patient based on actual findings, assessments, evaluations, diagnostics or assessments as documented by the physician."
Non-biographical data/information is data that will typically change from visit to visit. For example, many EMR systems bring forward from the previous encounter non-biographical information such as symptoms, diagnosis, vitals, lab levels, history, previous treatments etc... However, because symptoms often resolve between encounters (as result of treatment), diagnoses may no longer be active or present (because of previous treatments), and vitals fluctuate, such data fields should not contain inaccurate, non-current, or irrelevant data that is not pertinent to the present illness/issue. Such information may be part of the patient’s history, but should not be reflected as current/present unless such symptoms/diagnoses are ongoing. Such information may become part of the patient’s historical data/information contained in the electronic medical record. Non-biographical information/data contained in a medical record for each encounter should be based on actual assessment, evaluations or other diagnostics that are documented by the physician.

“... the patient’s PMP history is accessed, the physician or advanced practice provider must ensure that the review is documented in the patient’s medical record. ”

“The fee for the NCT registry renewal is $56.00. ”
What is the biennial renewal fee for the NCT registry?
The fee for the NCT registry renewal is $56.00.
“... tions, the NCT registry is on a biennial (2 year) renewal schedule. Before elimination by statutory changes, the NCT permit was an annual renewal.You will need to continue to renew your NCT Registry listing or hardship exemption to continue to practice as an NCT in Texas. ... ”
Why can’t I register my NCT permit and my NCT registry at the same time?
In the 2017 legislative session, SB 674 changed the law so that the Texas Medical Board is no longer required to register NCTs who work for physicians. What remains is the requirement that NCTs obtain placement on the MRT Board’s general registry, or have an approved a hardship exemption, prior to starting practice.
The NCT Registry and the NCT Permit were renewed separately. Under current rules and regulations, the NCT registry is on a biennial (2 year) renewal schedule. Before elimination by statutory changes, the NCT permit was an annual renewal.
You will need to continue to renew your NCT Registry listing or hardship exemption to continue to practice as an NCT in Texas.
“... o the completion of your initial TMB registration/renewal, per the new statutory requirement set out in Texas Occupations Code, Sec 601.1111. ”

“Registration/renewal through TMB will be completed on a different schedule than DSHS, with all permits expiring during specific set times of year (as opposed to expiring in the permit holder’s birth month). Moving forward NCTs on the Registry will expire once a year, on June 30th. As part ... ”
Will I continue to renew my NCT registry in my birth month?
Registration/renewal through TMB will be completed on a different schedule than DSHS, with all permits expiring during specific set times of year (as opposed to expiring in the permit holder’s birth month). Moving forward NCTs on the Registry will expire once a year, on June 30th.
As part of the transition from DSHS to TMB, existing NCTs on the registry will have their first registration (renewal) with TMB per the existing permit expiration date. The renewal fee charged at the time of the first renewal with TMB will be pro-rated to bring the permits in line with the new expiration dates.
“... ou have been previously fingerprinted for another license or by another agency, we apologize for the inconvenience; however you will still be required to submit the fingerprint criminal history background to the TMB. ”
I was just fingerprinted for another agency, can you use those fingerprint results?

Therefore, we are not able to access fingerprint results that were submitted to another agency. If you have been previously fingerprinted for another license or by another agency, we apologize for the inconvenience; however you will still be required to submit the fingerprint criminal history background to the TMB.
