Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 20, October 25, 2024

Section 3 CCR 715-1.12 - DUTY TO SELF-REPORT CERTAIN MEDICAL CONDITIONS

This Rule is promulgated pursuant to sections 12-20-204, 12-270-116, and 12-270-118, C.R.S.

A. No later than thirty days from the date a physical or mental illness or condition affects a licensee's ability to perform occupational therapy services with reasonable skill and safety, the licensee shall provide the Director, in writing, the following information:

1. The diagnosis and a description of the illness or condition;

2. The date that the illness or condition was first diagnosed;

3. The name of the current treatment provider and documentation from the current treatment provider confirming the diagnosis, date of onset, and treatment plan; and

4. A description of the occupational therapist's or occupational therapy assistant's practice and any modifications, limitations or restrictions to that practice that have been made as a result of the illness or condition.

B. The licensee shall notify the Director of any worsening of the illness or condition, or any significant change in the illness or condition that affects the licensee's ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety, within thirty days of the change of the illness or condition. The occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant shall provide the Director, in writing, the following information:

1. The name of the current treatment provider, documentation from the current treatment provider confirming the change of the illness or condition, the date that the illness or condition changed, the nature of the change of the illness or condition, and the current treatment plan; and

2. A description of the licensee's practice, and any modifications, limitations, or restrictions to that practice that have been made as a result of the change of condition.

C. Compliance with this Rule is a prerequisite for eligibility to enter into a Confidential Agreement with the Director pursuant to section 12-270-118, C.R.S. However, mere compliance with this Rule does not require the Director to enter into a Confidential Agreement. Rather, the Director will evaluate all facts and circumstances to determine whether a Confidential Agreement is appropriate.

D. If the Director discovers that a licensee has a mental or physical illness or condition that affects the licensee's ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety, and the licensee has not timely notified the Director of such illness or condition, the licensee may be subject to disciplinary action pursuant to section 12-270-114(2)(d)(I), C.R.S.
