| (5) determines that examining the injured employee
would exceed the scope of practice authorized by their license. The
division's assignment of a designated doctor exam does not alter the
scope of practice authorized by the designated doctor's professional
license. Section 127.200(a)(12) of this title requires a designated
doctor to notify the division if continuing to participate on a claim
would exceed their scope of practice.
(6) can otherwise demonstrate to the division that
their continued service on the claim would be impracticable or could
impair the quality of examinations performed on the claim.
(g) Prohibition. The division will prohibit a designated
doctor from providing services on a claim if:
(1) the doctor has failed to become certified as a
designated doctor;
(2) the doctor no longer meets the appropriate qualification
standard under subsection (b) of this section to perform examinations
on the claim;
(3) the doctor has a disqualifying association specified
in §127.140 of this title that is relevant to the claim;
(4) the doctor has repeatedly failed to respond to
division appointment, clarification, or document requests or other
division inquiries about the claim;
(5) the doctor's continued service on the claim could
endanger the health, safety, or welfare of either the injured employee
or doctor; or
(6) the division has revoked or suspended the designated
doctor's certification.
(h) License revoked or suspended. The division will
prohibit a designated doctor from performing examinations on all new
or existing claims if the designated doctor's license has been revoked
or suspended, and the suspension has not been probated by an appropriate
licensing authority.
