ARTICLE 2 QUALIFICATIONS , CONDITIONS , AND RESPONSIBILITIES
2 . A . QUALIFICATIONS 2 . A . 1 . Threshold Eligibility Criteria :
( a ) To be eligible to apply for initial appointment , reappointment , or clinical privileges , an individual must demonstrate satisfaction of all of the following threshold eligibility criteria , as applicable 1 :
( 1 ) have a current , unrestricted license to practice in Nevada that is not subject to any restrictions , conditions , or probationary terms and have never had a license to practice in any jurisdiction denied , revoked , restricted or suspended by any state licensing agency 2 . An initial appointment application may be initiated but will not be deemed complete if an applicant has applied for and is pending a current , unrestricted license to practice in Nevada ;
( 2 ) not currently be under investigation by any federal or state agency or healthcare facility for reasons related to : ( i ) controlled substances ; ( ii ) illegal drugs ; ( iii ) insurance or health care fraud ( including Medicare , Medicaid or other federal or state governmental or private third-party payer fraud or program abuse ); ( iv ) violent acts ; ( v ) sexual misconduct ; ( vi ) moral turpitude ; or ( vii ) child or elder abuse ;
( 3 ) have a current , unrestricted DEA registration and have never had a DEA registration or Nevada Board of Pharmacy Controlled Substance Registration denied , revoked , or suspended . An initial appointment application may be initiated but will not be deemed complete without a waiver , if an applicant has applied for and is pending a current , unrestricted DEA registration ;
1
Except as otherwise provided , the threshold eligibility criteria will be applicable to individuals who apply for initial appointment after the adoption of this Manual . Existing members will be grandfathered with respect to new threshold criteria ; these criteria will be applied prospectively ( e . g ., if in the future a member ’ s license is restricted that member would fail to satisfy threshold criteria and would be ineligible for continued appointment or may be subject to automatic relinquishment ).
2
If an individual ’ s license is or was restricted , suspended , or subject to probationary terms or conditions (“ restricted ” or “ restriction ”) as a result of a disability , as that term is defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act , the restriction , standing alone , will not render the individual ineligible for appointment , reappointment , or clinical privileges as long as there is no current restriction on the individual ’ s clinical practice . The Hospital may determine that an individual is ineligible for appointment , reappointment , or clinical privileges because of a failure to meet any other threshold eligibility criteria even if the failure may relate to a disability ( e . g ., felony conviction which the individual claims is a result of substance abuse ).
