(A) A license issued pursuant to this chapter may be renewed biennially or as otherwise provided by the board and department. A person who has not demonstrated continuing medical competence, as required by this chapter, is not eligible for issuance or renewal of an active license. (B) A licensee shall complete the renewal form and submit the form to the board with the renewal fee. Upon receipt of the application and the fee, the department shall verify the accuracy of the application and renew the license for the applicable period. If a licensee fails to timely renew the license, the license is deemed lapsed at the close of the renewal period, and the licensee may not practice in this State until the licensee is reinstated to practice. The board may reinstate the licensee on payment of a reinstatement fee, the current renewal fee, and demonstration of continued competency satisfactory to the board. The board may deny reinstatement or take other action based on evidence of misconduct. (C) A licensee shall notify the board in writing within fifteen business days of any change of residential address, office address, or office telephone number. (D) A licensee shall notify the board within thirty days of any adverse disciplinary action by another United States or foreign licensing jurisdiction, a peer review group, a health care institution, a professional or medical society or association, a governmental agency, a law enforcement agency, including arrest, or a court, including indictment. Confidential information received from a licensee or other sources must continue to be maintained as confidential, except to the extent necessary for the proper disposition of the matter. Notification is not required in the case of: (1) a nondisciplinary resignation by the licensee from a health care facility; however, a resignation occurring after an incident or occurrence which could result in the revocation or suspension of or other limitation upon the licensee's privileges must be reported; (2) a minor disciplinary action regarding the licensee's privileges in a health care facility when the action taken does not involve the revocation or suspension of or other limitation upon the licensee's privileges to practice there; (3) a disciplinary action resulting from the licensee's failure to meet recordkeeping standards in a health care institution; (4) a disciplinary action resulting from the licensee's failure to attend meetings of a health care institution; or (5) other disciplinary actions as defined by the board in regulation.
