§ 1852 - Issuance of license - Vermont Statutes

§ 1852. Issuance of license

(a) The board may issue a special purpose license to practice osteopathic medicine as a medical director for a health maintenance organization covering persons in this state upon application from a person holding a full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in any and all states of the United States or its territories in which such individual is licensed, provided there has not been previous disciplinary or other action against the applicant by any state or jurisdiction. In the event of previous disciplinary or other action against the applicant, the board may, in its discretion, issue a license to practice osteopathic medicine as a medical director for a health maintenance organization covering persons in this state if it finds that the previous disciplinary or other action does not indicate that the osteopathic physician is a potential threat to the public.

(b) An individual shall submit an application to the board on a form provided by the board. Such special purpose license issued by the board limits the licensee solely to the practice of osteopathic medicine as a medical director for a health maintenance organization covering persons in this state. The special purpose license in this state is valid for the term of two years, and may be renewed upon submission of a renewal application on forms provided by the board. (Added 2001, No. 129 (Adj. Sess.), § 25, eff. June 13, 2002.)
