ALBRIGHT, Justice:
This case is a contested administrative proceeding under W.Va.Code § 29A-5-1, et seq., initiated by the West Virginia Board of Medicine (the Board) pursuant to the disciplinary authority of W.Va.Code § 30-3-14,1 against Shakuntala Modi, M.D., a psychiatrist. Dr. Modi is a physician licensed in West Virginia and is engaged in a solo practice in Wheeling. [234]*234The disciplinary proceeding grows out of Dr. Modi’s care and treatment of William Abbott by use of a technique known as depossession therapy. The Notice of Hearing prepared by the Board and served on Dr. Modi charged:
6. Depossession therapy is not care and treatment recognized by a reasonable, prudent physician engaged in the same specialty as being acceptable under similar conditions and circumstances, and accordingly, Dr. Modi has violated West Virginia Code § 30-3-14(c)(17), and Board regulation 11 CSR 1A 12.1(x), in her care and treatment of the complainant [Mr. Abbott] on June 1, 1990.
7. Dr. Modi’s use of depossession therapy in her care and treatment of the complainant on June 1, 1990, and in her medical practice generally, constitutes performing procedures or prescribing a therapy that by the accepted standards of medical practice in the community constitutes experimentation on human subjects without first obtaining full, informed and written consent, and accordingly, Dr. Modi has violated West Virginia Code § 30-3-14(c)(14), (17), and Board regulations 11 CSR 1A 12.1(y).
8. Dr. Modi’s billing to the complainant’s insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of West Central West Virginia in Parkersburg, for the care and treatment rendered to the complainant on June 1,1990, by her, was a falsely filed report which Dr. Modi knew was false, because depossession therapy is not a form of psychotherapy recognized as acceptable under similar conditions and circumstances by a reasonable, prudent physician, engaged in the same specialty, and accordingly, Dr. Modi has violated West Virginia Code § 30-3-14(c)(5), (17), and Board regulations 11 CSR 1A 12.1(p).
9. Dr. Modi’s use of depossession therapy, as set forth in paragraph 4, and her billing to the insurer, as set forth in paragraph 5, constitutes unprofessional conduct, and accordingly, Dr. Modi has violated West Virginia Code § 30-3-14(c)(17) and Board regulation 11 CSR 1A 12.1(j).
Dr. Modi filed an answer admitting the use of depossession therapy and denying any conduct justifying disciplinary action. After lengthy procedural manuevers and extensive hearings, the hearing examiner, Edward C. Goldberg, prepared a thirty-six page report of “Recommended Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” which rather fully discussed the issues of procedure, law and facts in the case.
UNDERLYING FACTS
From the hearing examiner’s report it may be ascertained that on June 1, 1990, the appellee here, Dr. Shakuntala Modi, undertook to treat Mr. William Abbott in her office by use of depossession therapy. According to Dr. Modi, depossession therapy involves the use of hypnosis or hypnotherapy to relieve individuals of fears arising from such individuals’ beliefs or feelings that they are or may be possessed by spirits. Dr. Modi also testified that the use of depossession therapy does not imply that the practitioner believes his or her patient is possessed by such spirits, but requires only that the practitioner conclude that the patient being treated believes himself or herself to be so possessed.
It appears that preparatory to this session, Dr. Modi discussed the proposed use of the therapy with a hypnotist who had previously treated Mr. Abbott and who had accompanied Mr. Abbott to Dr. Modi’s office and took a rather complete history from Mr. Abbott. It further appears that Dr. Modi did not thoroughly discuss the intended therapy with Mr. Abbott or obtain a written consent for the therapy from him. After commencing the depossession therapy session with Mr. Abbott, it appears that Dr. Modi worked with the patient for about four hours, utilizing what Dr. Modi described as hypnotherapy. According to Mr. Abbott, Dr. Modi engaged in various incantations and called upon angels to lift dead souls out of his body in the course of the extended therapy session.
Mr. Abbott filed a complaint against Dr. Modi with the West Virginia Board of Medicine regarding his depossession treatment. Based on the complaint the Board then instituted the present proceeding, setting forth the charges quoted above, including the charge that Dr. Modi had improperly billed [235]*235an insurance company $480.00 for psychotherapy when, in fact, she had engaged in depossession therapy.
During the proceedings before the hearing examiner extensive evidence was developed regarding the circumstances surrounding Dr. Modi’s treatment of Mr. Abbott and, of particular importance here, on the question of whether depossession therapy was an accepted form of medical treatment which would not require a written informed consent or whether it was an experimental treatment which would require such a consent.
THE DECISIONS BELOW
The hearing examiner’s report described five ultimate issues, which may be summarized as follows:
1. Did the Board establish that by using depossession therapy on Mr. Abbott, Dr. Modi violated Code § 30-3-14(c)(17) and Board Reg. 12.1(x)2 because a reasonable, prudent physician in the same specialty would not recognize depossession therapy as being acceptable under similar conditions and circumstances?
2. Did Dr. Modi violate Code § 30-3-14(c)(14) and (17) and Board Reg. 12.1(y) by using an experimental therapy without first obtaining a full, informed and written consent from Mr. Abbott?
3. Did Dr. Modi violate Code § 30-3-14(c)(5), (17) and Board Reg. 12.1(p) by filing a false report with the patient’s insurance carrier when she described her use of depossession therapy as psychotherapy when'depossession therapy is not recognized by reasonable, prudent physicians in the same specialty as being acceptable under similar conditions and circumstances?
4. Did Dr. Modi engage in unprofessional conduct in violation of Code § 30-3-14(c)(17) and Board Reg. 12.1(j) by using depossession therapy and billing the patient’s insurer for the service?
5.If it is found that Dr. Modi violated the cited sections in one or more particulars, what is the appropriate sanction to be imposed?
In his report, the hearing examiner concluded that the Board of Medicine had the burden of proof to establish its charges by “full, preponderating and clear evidence”. He further concluded that Dr. Modi was entitled to adduce evidence from experts who were not licensed to practice medicine in any of the United States on the issues of whether depossession therapy is a legitimate form of care and treatment and whether such therapy is experimental.
Based on the evidence before him, the hearing examiner stated that the Board had proved that depossession therapy is indeed experimental and that Dr. Modi had obtained neither written nor informed consent from the patient. He further concluded that Dr. Modi’s use of depossession therapy was legitimate care and treatment for which Dr. Modi is entitled to bill patients and their insurers and that, consequently, the billing to the insurance carrier was not false billing and was not unprofessional conduct. Lastly, the hearing examiner rejected the parties’ proposed findings of fact that were inconsistent with these conclusions after a lengthy discussion of the evidentiary bases for his various conclusions.
Having found that Dr. Modi violated W.Va. Code § 30-3-14(c)(14) and (17) by the use of an experimental therapy without first obtaining a full, informed and written consent, the hearing examiner recommended to the Board that Dr. Modi be sanctioned by: (1) a public reprimand (2) being required to undergo additional education on the subject of-informed consent and (3) a civil fine of $1,000.3
Upon submission of the hearing examiner’s report to the Board, a twelve page order was [236]*236issued by the Board which incorporated the hearing examiner’s report with extensive changes. The Board order offers no explanation for those changes. The changes were accomplished by references in the Board order to pages in the examiner’s report, excising certain material by such references and adding other material. The Board excised over twenty-one pages of the hearing examiner’s report and added perhaps a page or two of material.4
In the conclusionary portion of the order, the Board found that Dr. Modi is unqualified [237]*237to practice medicine without certain limitations. With respect to sanctions, the Board order adopted the hearing examiner’s recommendation for a public reprimand and a fine of $1,000. It also adopted and expanded upon the education recommendation.5 Finally, the Board order required that Dr. Modi develop and obtain Board approval of a particular form of “informed” written consent for the use of depossession therapy and that a copy of the approved form, signed by any patient undergoing depossession therapy, be submitted by Dr. Modi with any bill sent an insurance company for such therapy.
Dr. Modi appealed the Board order to the Circuit Court of Ohio County. The circuit court reversed and vacated the Board order upon a finding that it was arbitrary and an abuse of discretion. The court found that the Board had failed to give a concise and explicit statement of the facts upon which the Board based its decision. The court also found that the Board failed to supply reasons for rejecting Dr. Modi’s proposed findings of fact and for rejecting the hearing examiner’s determination that expert testimony offered on behalf of Dr. Modi from persons other than physicians licensed to practice in the United States should be considered by the Board. Further, the court concluded that the Board acted arbitrarily in imposing on Dr. Modi the requirements regarding consent forms and billing practices with respect to depossession therapy.6
The Board of Medicine appealed the circuit court’s order to this Court. Five errors are assigned, as follows:
[238]*2381. The Circuit Court erred, was clearly wrong, and violated applicable law, in deciding that the Board’s requirement was in error that Dr. Modi utilize a written consent form when engaging in depossession or spirit releasement therapy with patients.
2. The Circuit Court erred, was clearly wrong, and violated applicable law, in directing that the Board’s January 14, 1993, Order be reversed and vacated, in the absence of any evidence and determination by the Circuit Court that the evidentiary findings made by the Board were wrong.
3. The Circuit Court made no determination that the substantial rights of Dr. Modi had been prejudiced by the Board’s findings, inferences, conclusions decision or order, and in the absence of such a determination, erred, was clearly wrong, and in violation of applicable law, in directing that the Board’s January 14, 1993, Order be reversed and vacated.
4. The Circuit Court erred, was clearly wrong, and violated applicable law, in directing that the Board’s January 14, 1993, Order be reversed and vacated, as such a direction is not in the public interest which the Board by law is required to protect.
5. The Circuit Court erred, was clearly wrong, and violated applicable law, by issuing an ex parte stay without an opportunity for the Board to be heard before granting the stay.
In support of those assignments of errors, the Board of Medicine essentially claims that the basis of its finding was adequately articulated, that there was adequate evidence to support its findings, and that the •sanctions which it imposed were appropriate.
After reviewing, the record, this Court concludes that the circuit court was correct in finding that the Board made inadequate findings of fact and incorrect conclusions of law. The court below properly concluded that the billing requirement imposed upon Dr. Modi was arbitrary and capricious and was done without legal authority. We note here that a “cut and paste” version of the hearing examiner’s report, as amended by the Board order, has been carefully and repeatedly studied in an effort to discern “a reasoned, articulate decision which sets forth the underlying evidentiary facts which” led the Board to its conclusions. The exercise has not been successful. We agree with the court below “that, based on the complete record of these proceedings, the order of the Board ... is arbitrary and an abuse of discretion.” However, given the finding by the hearing examiner and the Board that Dr. Modi used an experimental therapy without obtaining a signed, written and informed consent, we conclude that the court below, in addition to reversing the Board order.should have also remanded the cause to the Board for reconsideration of the issues and an appropriate, renewable order. Therefore, the judgment of the circuit court must be reversed and this cause remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
THE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW
In approaching the issues raised in the present appeal, the Court notes that in Berlow v. West Virginia Board of Medicine, 193 W.Va. 666, 458 S.E.2d 469 (1995), we recently held that the West Virginia Administrative Procedure Act, W.Va.Code § 29A-5-1, et seq., establishes the guidelines to be followed by circuit courts in reviewing decisions of the West Virginia Board of Medicine. We said:
“Upon judicial review of a contested case under the West Virginia Administrative Procedure Act, Chapter 29A, Article 5, Section 4(g), the circuit court may affirm the order or decision of the agency or remand the case for further proceedings. The circuit court shall reverse, vacate or modify the order or decision of the agency if the substantial rights of the petitioner or petitioners have been prejudiced because the administrative findings, inferences, conclusions, decisions or order are: ‘(1) In violation of constitutional or statutory provisions; or (2) In excess of the statutory authority or jurisdiction of the agency; or (3) Made upon unlawful procedures; or (4) Affected by other error of law, or (5) Clearly wrong in view of the reliable, probative and substantial evidence on the whole record; or (6) Arbitrary or capricious or characterized by abuse of discre[239]*239tion or clearly unwarranted exercise of discretion.’” Syllabus point 2, Shepherdstown Volunteer Fire Department v. West Virginia Human Rights Commission, 172 W.Va. 627, 309 S.E.2d 342 (1983).
We have previously concluded that findings of fact made by an administrative agency will not be disturbed on appeal unless such findings are contrary to the evidence or based on a mistake of law. In other words, the findings must be clearly wrong to warrant judicial interference. Billings v. Civil Service Commission, 154 W.Va. 688, 178 S.E.2d 801 (1971). Accordingly, absent a mistake of law, findings of fact by an administrative agency supported by substantial evidence should not be disturbed on appeal. West Virginia Human Rights Commission v. United Transportation Union, 167 W.Va. 282, 280 S.E.2d 653 (1981); Bloss & Dillard, Inc. v. West Virginia Human Rights Commission, 183 W.Va. 702, 398 S.E.2d 528 (1990).
We have also given consideration to W.Va. Code § 29A-5-3 and prior interpretations of that section by this Court. West Virginia Code § 29A-5-3 requires that:
Every final order or decision rendered by any agency in a contested case shall be in writing or stated in the record and shall be accompanied by findings of fact and conclusions of law. Prior to the rendering of any final order or decision, any party may propose findings of fact and conclusions of law. If proposed, all other parties shall be given an opportunity to except to such proposed findings and conclusions, and the final order or decision shall include a ruling on each proposed finding. Findings of fact, if set forth in statutory language, shall be accompanied by a concise and explicit statement of the underlying facts supporting the findings____
After examining this statutory enactment, this Court concluded, in syllabus point 4 of St. Mary’s Hospital v. State Health Planning and Development Agency, 178 W.Va. 792, 364 S.E.2d 805 (1987):
The requirement of West Virginia Code § 29A-5-3 that an administrative agency rule on the parties’ proposed findings is mandatory and will be enforced by the courts. Although the agency does not need to extensively discuss each proposed finding, such rulings must be sufficiently clear to assure a reviewing court that all those findings have been considered and dealt with, not overlooked or concealed.
Finally, we note that this Court has construed W.Va.Code § 29A-5-3 to require fully articulated bases for agency determinations, particularly where economic or scientific matters are at issue:
2. When W.Va.Code, 29A-5-3 [1964] says: “Every final order or decision rendered by any agency in a contested case shall be in writing or stated in the record and shall be accompanied by findings of fact and conclusions of law____” the law contemplates a reasoned, articulate decision which sets forth the underlying evidentiary facts which lead the agency to its conclusion, along with an explanation of the methodology by which any complex, scientific, statistical, or economic evidence was evaluated. In this regard if the conclusion is predicated upon a change of agency policy from former practice, there should be an explanation of the reasons for such change.
3. In administrative appeals where there is a record involving complex economic or scientific data which a court cannot evaluate properly -without expert knowledge in areas beyond the peculiar competence of courts, neither this Court nor the trial courts will attempt to determine whether the agency decision was contrary to the law and the evidence until such time as the agency presents a proper order making appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Syllabus points 2 and 3, Citizens Bank of Weirton v. West Virginia Board of Banking and Financial Institutions, 160 W.Va. 220, 233 S.E.2d 719 (1977).
ERRORS OF LAW BELOW
The Board complains that the circuit court was clearly wrong in reversing the Board of Medicine in the absence of any evidence and determination that the evidentiary findings made by the Board were wrong. We dis[240]*240agree. As previously indicated, the Board order, cobbled together by the expedient of additions to and excisions from the hearing examiners report, is barely intelligible, if at all. The Board order utterly fails to address the findings of fact and conclusions of law proposed by the parties or the reasons for rejecting such findings. As is noted in St. Mary’s Hospital v. State Health Planning and Development Agency, supra, the requirement that the agency rule on such proposed findings and conclusions is mandatory and will be enforced by the courts.
Likewise, we are unable to discern from the Board order “a reasoned, articulate decision which sets forth the underlying evidentiary facts which lead the agency to its conclusion”, as is required by syllabus point 2 of Citizens Bank of Weirton v. West Virginia Board of Banking and Financial Institutions, supra. It appears that the lack of such a reasoned, articulate decision flows, at least in part, from the rejection by the Board of Medicine of the hearing examiner’s recommended conclusion of law allowing the admission and consideration of the testimony of Dr. Modi’s experts who were not physicians currently licensed to practice medicine in one of the United States. The Board argued below and argues here that W.Va.Code § 55-7B-77 is applicable to disciplinary proceedings for physicians and, therefore, testimony offered in Dr. Modi’s behalf by experts not licensed to practice medicine in one of the United States could not be considered by the hearing examiner or the Board. The hearing examiner disagreed, and so do we.
West Virginia Code § 55-7B-1, et seq., relates to tort actions against health care providers, including physicians, not to disciplinary proceedings before the Board of Medicine.8 West Virginia Code § 55-7B-7 requires, among other limiting factors, that expert testimony in “medical professional liability cases by the plaintiff’ be elicited only from experts with a “current license to practice medicine in one of the states of the United States”. A medical professional liability action is defined as an action for damages in tort or contract. W.Va.Code § 55-7B-2(d). It is clear that a disciplinary proceeding by the Board of Medicine is not such an action. Moreover, the continued vitality of W.Va.Code § 55-7B-7 even in tort or contract actions is doubtful in light of this Court’s holding in Mayhorn v. Logan Medical Foundation, 193 W.Va. 42, 454 S.E.2d 87 (1994), that Rule 702 of the West Virginia Rules of Evidence, rather than W.Va.Code § 55-7B-7, is the paramount authority for determining whether or not an expert is qualified to give an opinion. Accordingly, the Board of Medicine erroneously refused to consider, for whatever its probative value,9 [241]*241the otherwise admissible testimony of experts supportive of Dr. Modi’s assertion that depossession therapy is a recognized form of treatment and is not experimental. That error of law subjects the Board’s findings on those two issues to scrutiny by this Court and the circuit court and requires that the conclusions of the Board based on those findings be set aside and that the sanctions imposed by reason of those conclusions be vacated.
We do not conclude that depossession therapy is or is not an acceptable form of care that would be employed by a reasonable, prudent physician in the same circumstances as those faced by Dr. Modi. We conclude only that the Board’s findings in that regard are flawéd by the mistake of law just described. We conclude also that we are confronted with the kind of agency ruling involving scientific data which the courts should not attempt to evaluate until such time as the agency presents a proper order making appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law as is required by syllabus point 2 of Citizens Bank of Weirton v. West Virginia Board of Banking and Financial Institutions, supra. On the present record, it appears that an adequate prima facie case that Dr. Modi experimented on a human subject without obtaining the written informed consent required by W.Va.Code § 30 — 3—14(c)(14) was established by the evidence.10 However, the decision on that issue is also flawed by the failure of the Board to give any consideration to the evidence adduced from Dr. Modi’s experts and the failure of the Board to make appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law; in addition, as discussed later in this opinion, the Board’s determination of what may constitute compliance with the informed consent requirement deserves further careful review. Under the circumstances, the circuit court was correct in reversing the decision of the Board. However, this Court believes that the circuit court should have remanded the case to the Board for further consideration and for the making of appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law.
The principles enunciated in syllabus points 2 and 3 of Citizens Bank of Weirton v. West Virginia Board of Banking and Financial Institutions, supra, quoted above, are especially applicable to cases where the administrative agency has utilized the services of a hearing examiner and determines that it should amend the findings or conclusions recommended by the examiner. Where an administrative agency has conducted a contested hearing through a hearing examiner and determines that it should amend the findings of fact or conclusions of law recommended by the hearing examiner, a reasoned, articulate statement of the reasons for the amended findings of fact or conclusions of law adopted by the agency is essential to the validity of those findings or conclusions and to then-ready acceptance by reviewing courts. Such is particularly the case where the agency is making its decision based on economic or scientific data within the presumed expertise of the agency or where the agency has not heard or received the underlying evidence from which it is drawing conclusions different from those of the hearing examiner.
The Board complains further that the circuit court made no determination [242]*242that the substantial rights of Dr. Modi have been prejudiced by the Board order in this proceeding, relying on the requirement contained in W.Va.Code § 29A-5-4 that a circuit court reviewing an administrative order may act to reverse or modify an administrative agency only if the substantial rights of a party are prejudiced. In this case the contention is without merit. It is self-evident that the determinations by the Board that Dr. Modi is unqualified to practice medicine without certain limitations and that Dr. Modi should be publicly reprimanded, fined, required to undergo certain education not required of all physicians in her field and subjected to other special requirements, substantially affect her rights. We have previously determined that a license to practice a recognized profession is a valuable property right. Vest v. Cobb, 138 W.Va. 660, 76 S.E.2d 885 (1953). Limitations on the enjoyment of that property right, coupled with a public reprimand and fine, imposed by a disciplinary body as in this case, clearly prejudice substantial rights of the holder of that property right and justify careful scrutiny by reviewing courts of the proceedings resulting in such action.
We now address the requirement of the Board order that Dr. Modi prepare and have approved by the Board of Medicine a form of written conséht to be signed by patients undergoing depossession therapy. As we understand the record, it is contemplated that the form to be prepared and approved will include both the statement of consent to be signed by the patient and a full description of the potential “risks” and benefits envisioned by the practitioner as a result of the use of depossession therapy. We also have reviewed carefully the discussions contained in the report of the hearing examiner and in the circuit court order concluding that “no written consent form is necessary”. We can not discern from the proceedings below exactly what the hearing examiner and the circuit court intended by these comments, especially in light of the express requirement of W.Va. Code § 30-3-14(c)(14) that any therapy constituting experimentation on human subjects must be preceded by “full, informed and written consent”. Both the hearing examiner and the circuit court cite and rely on Cross v. Trapp, 170 W.Va. 459, 294 S.E.2d 446 (1982), and Adams v. El-Bash, 175 W.Va. 781, 338 S.E.2d 381 (1985), and the presence in those cases of procedures which invade the human body, suggesting that the case here is different by reason of depossession therapy being a non-invasive procedure. However, the hearing examiner nevertheless found that Dr. Modi has violated the requirement of obtaining a written, signed consent for an experimental procedure while the circuit court appears to have reached an opposite conclusion. The Board excised from its order the hearing examiner’s statement that no written consent form is necessary while retaining the ultimate conclusion that Dr. Modi improperly failed to obtain a written consent from Mr. Abbott for an experimental treatment, depossession therapy. The Board offered no explanation for its action by which we might be enlightened. Again, the absence of . a reasoned, articulate decision by the Board prevents a full understanding why and how the Board’s judgment differed from that of its hearing examiner on this critical issue. Since the matter is to be remanded to the Board for further consideration, we offer the following guidance with respect to the proper contents and form of a “full, informed and written consent”.
As previously noted, by reason of our determination that the Board’s exclusion of the testimony of Dr. Modi’s experts was error, the issue of whether depossession therapy is an acceptable form of treatment and the issue of whether depossession therapy is experimental must now be fully reconsidered, with frill and fair attention given to the previously excluded expert testimony. Upon such reconsideration, if it is found that depossession therapy is experimental, not withstanding its non-invasive nature, then careful consideration must be given to whether the writing signed by the patient about to undergo depossession therapy must contain on its face a written description of the potential risks and benefits of such therapy. We do not now express an opinion on that question, deferring, as we should, to the expertise presumed to be inherent in an administrative agency created to deal with such complex issues.
[243]*243It does appear that the Board of Medicine failed to consider fully the implications of a requirement that the written consent form contain the panoply of information that might be considered to be necessary to a full, informed consent and perhaps failed to consider fully how the wide variety of patients likely to undergo an “experimental” procedure in the future might be best be brought to a suitable appreciation of the anticipated risks and benefits of a particular experimental procedure. Mindful that the resolution of such difficult questions involves complex issues of patient care and treatment which go far beyond the question of “depossession therapy”, we leave the proper determination of the contents of the written consent form for consideration on remand. Having in mind the rapid advances that have been made in medical science in recent years, we caution that the determination could have a significant impact on what might be considered “experimental” procedures in the future and, absent careful consideration, may markedly expand the legal requirements for “informed consent”. At this time, we defer to the administrative agency created to consider those issues on behalf of the medical profession. Given the wide ranging implications of such a determination, it may be appropriate for the Board of Medicine to address this matter by issuance of a regulation rather than by dealing with it in the confined circumstances of a contested administrative proceeding.
Next, we address the requirement of the Board that Dr. Modi submit to any insurance carrier for a patient undergoing depossession therapy a copy of the previously approved informed consent form signed by the subject patient. From the record, we glean that the Board of Medicine, having disapproved of the therapy as an acceptable form of treatment, having rejected Dr. Modi’s experts contrary to the hearing examiner’s advice and contrary to law, and having declared depossession therapy experimental, wished to prevent practitioners of the therapy from being paid by insurance carriers for the therapy. However, we also note from the record that the Board of Medicine did not undertake to prohibit Dr. Modi from using the therapy; rather the Board specified certain education and the preparation of the consent forms just discussed, thereby at least implicitly acknowledging the right of Dr. Modi to utilize the procedure in her practice. The court below found the Board’s requirement that the consent form be submitted to an insurance carrier arbitrary. We agree. West Virginia Code § 30 — 3—14(i) sets forth the sanctions which may be imposed by the Board of Medicine upon a physician. After reviewing the statutory language, this Court cannot conclude that the Legislature has in any manner authorized the Board of Medicine to regulate or intervene in the manner directed by the Board order in the process by which physicians bill insurers for treatment.11
Finally, the Board complains that the reversal and vacation of the order of the Board of Medicine was clearly wrong as not in the [244]*244public interest.12 As we have noted in this opinion, the court below had ample reason to reverse the Board of Medicine. However, we have disapproved the vacation of the Board order in this case without further proceedings. Specifically, we have addressed the necessity that certain issues be reconsidered and have determined that at least one of the sanctions imposed on Dr. Modi is inappropriate. It may also appear upon reconsideration of the issues as directed here that one or more of the remaining sanctions are also inappropriate.
For the reasons stated, the judgment of the Circuit Court of Ohio County is affirmed in part and reversed in part. This case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Upon remand, the West Virginia Board of Medicine shall undertake such reconsideration of the issues as may be appropriate and render in any subsequent order a reasoned, articulate decision, accompanied by appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Affirmed in part; reversed in part; and remanded with directions.
