Other provisions in the regulations that the division posted to its online forum for a 10-day comment period would revise timelines relating to how the agency responds to applications and administers QME placement exams. Among a long list of changes, the proposed rules would require providers applying to serve as QMEs to declare under penalty of perjury that they have not previously been terminated from the program, either as a result of having their authorization revoked or by resigning while disciplinary actions were pending. The rules would also expand on the requirement for providers to disclose their license status. The law requires providers to state that they have an unrestricted license to practice in California and are not on probation. Providers who have restrictions or are on probation are required to disclose those restrictions and the terms of probation. The rules would add a requirement for providers to also report the details of any pending disciplinary action. Another provision would declare that the certificate of completion for the disability evaluation report writing course is valid for only three years for the purposes of QME certification or appointment.
