“To return to practice from retired status, a physician must submit an application online for re-activation/re-licensure and meet all of the current requirements for licensure. ”

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.

How will I be notified if I am granted a waiver?
If you are granted a waiver, it will be displayed on your public physician profile. This alone will serve as proof of your waiver. Generally, waiver requests are determined within 2-3 business days. You are encouraged to check your profile daily upon submitting your waiver request. You may also choose to print a simple copy of the ‘Verified Information’ section of your profile, which includes your waiver status, by choosing the “Print Verification” option on your profile.
“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. ”

“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.&nbs ... ”
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.
“ 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 ... ”
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.”
