§ 2006.51. Clinical Diagnostic Evaluations for Substance-Abusing Licensees.
(4) The clinical diagnostic evaluation report shall set forth, in the evaluator's opinion, whether the licensee has a substance abuse problem; whether the licensee is a threat to themself or others; and recommendations for substance abuse treatment, practice restrictions, or other recommendations related to the licensee's rehabilitation and ability to practice safely. If the evaluator determines during the evaluation process that a licensee is a threat to themself or others, the evaluator shall notify the Board within twenty-four (24) hours of such a determination.
(7) For all evaluations, a final written report shall be provided to the Board no later than ten (10) days from the date the evaluator is assigned the matter. If the evaluator requests additional information or time to complete the evaluation and report, an extension may be granted, but shall not exceed thirty (30) days from the date the evaluator was originally assigned the matter.
(d) The Board shall review the clinical diagnostic evaluation report and determine within ten (10) business days of receipt whether the licensee is safe to return to either part-time or full-time practice and what restrictions or recommendations shall be imposed on the licensee based on the recommendations made by the evaluator. No licensee shall be returned to practice until the licensee has at least thirty (30) days of negative biological fluid tests or biological fluid tests indicating that the licensee has not used, consumed, ingested, or self-administered a prohibited substance.
