OAR 851-070-0040
Procedure for Self- Referred Licensees

(1)

Self-referred licensees may participate in the HPSP as permitted by ORS 676.190 (Establishment of program)(5). Licensees with physical or cognitive impairment, without an associated Behavioral Diagnosis are not eligible to self-refer to HPSP.

(2)

Once a self-referred licensee seeks enrollment in the HPSP, failure to complete final enrollment may constitute substantial non-compliance and may be reported to the Board.

(3)

If self-referral has completed final enrollment to the HPSP and the Board opens an investigation on the licensee not related to substantial non-compliance, the licensee may continue in the HPSP program for the monitoring of safe practice until the Board has determined their ongoing eligibility or determined discipline.

(4)

If a licensee voluntarily enters treatment without exhibiting an established danger to the public (such as workplace impairment, multiple DUII, etc.), without self-referral to HPSP, or has otherwise not had any Board reportable incidences, there is no requirement to report to the Board by the individual or the employer at the time of treatment or discovery that the licensee was in treatment, however, the licensee must disclose the treatment upon renewal of licensure.
