§ 25-19-1-11 — Necessity of license; violations; health facility administrators; prohibited practices; standards of practice

(a) No health facility may operate unless it
is under the supervision of an administrator who holds a currently valid
health facility administrator's license or provisional license issued
under this chapter. No person may practice or offer to practice health
facility administration or use any title, sign, card, or device to indicate
that the person is a health facility administrator, unless the person has
been duly licensed as a health facility administrator or provisional
health facility administrator. A person who violates this section
commits a Class C infraction, and each day of continuing violation
after entry of judgment constitutes a separate infraction.
(b) An individual who is not licensed as a health facility
administrator may not:
(1) profess to be a health facility administrator;
(2) use the title "health facility administrator" or "assistant health
facility administrator"; or
(3) use the initials "H.F.A." or any other words, letters,
abbreviations, or insignia indicating or implying that the
individual is a health facility administrator or assistant health
facility administrator licensed under this article;
unless the individual is licensed as a health facility administrator under
this article.
(c) A licensed health facility administrator may not practice health
facility administration in more than one (1) health facility at the same
time.
(d) A health facility administrator is subject to the health
professions standards of practice under IC 25-1-9.
