Iowa Admin. Code r. 653-14.5

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 11, December 11, 2024

Rule 653-14.5 - Eligibility

To be eligible for participation in the IPHP, an applicant or a licensee must self-report an impairment or potential impairment directly to the IPHP or be referred by the board for an impairment or potential impairment pursuant to 653-14.11 (272C) and be determined by the IPHC to be an appropriate candidate for participation in the IPHP.

(1) Participation in the program does not divest the board of its authority or jurisdiction over the participant. A participant with an impairment or potential impairment as defined at 653-14.2 (272C) may retain eligibility to participate in the program if appropriate while subject to investigation or discipline by the board for matters other than the alleged impairment.

(2) A prospective participant may be determined to be ineligible to participate in the program as a self-reporter or a referral from the board if the committee finds sufficient evidence of any of the following:

a. The prospective participant provided inaccurate, misleading, or fraudulent information or failed to fully cooperate with the IPHC.

b. The prospective participant fails to sign a contract when recommended by the IPHC.

c. The IPHC determines it will be unable to assist the prospective participant.

(3) The IPHC shall report to the board any knowledge of violations of administrative rules or statutes other than the impairment, including, but not limited to, competency concerns or sexual misconduct.
