§ 161.12. Penalties--Grounds for imposition
A. The Board of Chiropractic Examiners is authorized, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to Article II of the Administrative Procedures Act,1 to issue an order imposing one or more of the following penalties whenever the Board finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that a chiropractic physician has committed any of the acts or occurrences set forth in subsection B of this section:
6. Placement of a chiropractic physician on probation for a period of time and under such terms and conditions as the Board may specify, including requiring the chiropractic physician to submit to treatment, to attend continuing education courses, to submit to reexamination, or to work under the supervision of another chiropractic physician; and
1. Pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, or being convicted of, a felony, a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or a violation of federal or state controlled dangerous substances laws. A copy of the judgment and sentence of the conviction, duly certified by the clerk of the court in which the conviction was obtained, and a certificate of the clerk that the conviction has become final, shall be sufficient evidence for the imposition of a penalty;
7. Unlawfully possessing, prescribing or administering any drug, medicine, serum or vaccine. This section shall not prevent a chiropractic physician from possessing, prescribing or administering, by a needle or otherwise, vitamins, minerals or nutritional supplements, or from practicing within the scope of the science and art of chiropractic as defined in Section 161.2 of this title;
10. Violating any provision of the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act2 or any rule promulgated pursuant thereto;
11. Willfully aiding or assisting an insurer, as defined in Section 1250.2 of Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes, or an administrator, as defined in Section 1442 of Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes, to deny claims which under the terms of the insurance contract are covered services and are medically necessary;
D. The Board is authorized to issue a confidential letter of concern to a chiropractic physician when, though evidence does not warrant initiation of an individual proceeding, the Board has noted indications of possible errant conduct by the chiropractic physician that could lead to serious consequences and formal action by the Board.
