 456.076Treatment programs for impaired practitioners.—
 (1)For professions that do not have impaired  practitioner programs provided for in their practice acts, the department  shall, by rule, designate approved impaired practitioner programs under this section.  The department may adopt rules setting forth appropriate criteria for approval  of treatment providers. The rules may specify the manner in which the  consultant, retained as set forth in subsection (2), works with the department  in intervention, requirements for evaluating and treating a professional,  requirements for continued care of impaired professionals by approved treatment  providers, continued monitoring by the consultant of the care provided by  approved treatment providers regarding the professionals under their care, and  requirements related to the consultant’s expulsion of professionals from the  program.
 (2)The department shall retain one or more impaired  practitioner consultants. The consultant shall be a licensee under the  jurisdiction of the Division of Medical Quality Assurance within the department  who must be a practitioner or recovered practitioner licensed under chapter  458, chapter 459, or part I of chapter 464, or an entity employing a medical  director who must be a practitioner or recovered practitioner licensed under  chapter 458, chapter 459, or part I of chapter 464. The consultant shall assist  the probable cause panel and department in carrying out the responsibilities of  this section. This shall include working with department investigators to  determine whether a practitioner is, in fact, impaired. The consultant may  contract for services to be provided, for appropriate compensation, if  requested by the school, for students enrolled in schools for licensure as  allopathic physicians or physician assistants under chapter 458, osteopathic  physicians or physician assistants under chapter 459, nurses under chapter 464,  or pharmacists under chapter 465 who are alleged to be impaired as a result of  the misuse or abuse of alcohol or drugs, or both, or due to a mental or  physical condition. The department is not responsible under any circumstances  for paying the costs of care provided by approved treatment providers, and the  department is not responsible for paying the costs of consultants’ services  provided for students. A medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on  Medical Education of the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation, or  other school providing for the education of students enrolled in preparation  for licensure as allopathic physicians under chapter 458 or osteopathic  physicians under chapter 459, which is governed by accreditation standards  requiring notice and the provision of due process procedures to students, is  not liable in any civil action for referring a student to the consultant  retained by the department or for disciplinary actions that adversely affect  the status of a student when the disciplinary actions are instituted in  reasonable reliance on the recommendations, reports, or conclusions provided by  such consultant, if the school, in referring the student or taking disciplinary  action, adheres to the due process procedures adopted by the applicable  accreditation entities and if the school committed no intentional fraud in  carrying out the provisions of this section.
 (3)(a)Whenever the department receives a written or oral  legally sufficient complaint alleging that a licensee under the jurisdiction of  the Division of Medical Quality Assurance within the department is impaired as  a result of the misuse or abuse of alcohol or drugs, or both, or due to a  mental or physical condition which could affect the licensee’s ability to  practice with skill and safety, and no complaint against the licensee other  than impairment exists, the reporting of such information shall not constitute  grounds for discipline pursuant to s. 456.072 or the corresponding grounds for  discipline within the applicable practice act if the probable cause panel of  the appropriate board, or the department when there is no board, finds:
 1.The licensee has acknowledged the impairment  problem.
 2.The licensee has voluntarily enrolled in an  appropriate, approved treatment program.
 3.The licensee has voluntarily withdrawn from  practice or limited the scope of practice as required by the consultant, in  each case, until such time as the panel, or the department when there is no  board, is satisfied the licensee has successfully completed an approved  treatment program.
 4.The licensee has executed releases for medical  records, authorizing the release of all records of evaluations, diagnoses, and  treatment of the licensee, including records of treatment for emotional or  mental conditions, to the consultant. The consultant shall make no copies or  reports of records that do not regard the issue of the licensee’s impairment  and his or her participation in a treatment program.
 (b)If, however, the department has not received a  legally sufficient complaint and the licensee agrees to withdraw from practice  until such time as the consultant determines the licensee has satisfactorily  completed an approved treatment program or evaluation, the probable cause  panel, or the department when there is no board, shall not become involved in  the licensee’s case.
 (c)Inquiries related to impairment treatment programs  designed to provide information to the licensee and others and which do not indicate  that the licensee presents a danger to the public shall not constitute a  complaint within the meaning of s. 456.073 and shall be exempt from the  provisions of this subsection.
 (d)Whenever the department receives a legally  sufficient complaint alleging that a licensee is impaired as described in  paragraph (a) and no complaint against the licensee other than impairment  exists, the department shall forward all information in its possession  regarding the impaired licensee to the consultant. For the purposes of this  section, a suspension from hospital staff privileges due to the impairment does  not constitute a complaint.
 (e)The probable cause panel, or the department when  there is no board, shall work directly with the consultant, and all information  concerning a practitioner obtained from the consultant by the panel, or the  department when there is no board, shall remain confidential and exempt from  the provisions of s. 119.07(1), subject to the provisions of subsections (5)  and (6).
 (f)A finding of probable cause shall not be made as  long as the panel, or the department when there is no board, is satisfied,  based upon information it receives from the consultant and the department, that  the licensee is progressing satisfactorily in an approved impaired practitioner  program and no other complaint against the licensee exists.
 (4)In any disciplinary action for a violation other  than impairment in which a licensee establishes the violation for which the  licensee is being prosecuted was due to or connected with impairment and  further establishes the licensee is satisfactorily progressing through or has  successfully completed an approved treatment program pursuant to this section,  such information may be considered by the board, or the department when there  is no board, as a mitigating factor in determining the appropriate penalty.  This subsection does not limit mitigating factors the board may consider.
 (5)(a)An approved treatment provider shall, upon  request, disclose to the consultant all information in its possession regarding  the issue of a licensee’s impairment and participation in the treatment  program. All information obtained by the consultant and department pursuant to  this section is confidential and exempt from the provisions of s. 119.07(1),  subject to the provisions of this subsection and subsection (6). Failure to  provide such information to the consultant is grounds for withdrawal of  approval of such program or provider.
 (b)If in the opinion of the consultant, after  consultation with the treatment provider, an impaired licensee has not  progressed satisfactorily in a treatment program, all information regarding the  issue of a licensee’s impairment and participation in a treatment program in  the consultant’s possession shall be disclosed to the department. Such  disclosure shall constitute a complaint pursuant to the general provisions of  s. 456.073. Whenever the consultant concludes that impairment affects a  licensee’s practice and constitutes an immediate, serious danger to the public  health, safety, or welfare, that conclusion shall be communicated to the State  Surgeon General.
 (6)A consultant, licensee, or approved treatment  provider who makes a disclosure pursuant to this section is not subject to  civil liability for such disclosure or its consequences. The provisions of s.  766.101 apply to any officer, employee, or agent of the department or the board  and to any officer, employee, or agent of any entity with which the department  has contracted pursuant to this section.
 (7)(a)A consultant retained pursuant to subsection (2),  a consultant’s officers and employees, and those acting at the direction of the  consultant for the limited purpose of an emergency intervention on behalf of a  licensee or student as described in subsection (2) when the consultant is  unable to perform such intervention shall be considered agents of the  department for purposes of s. 768.28 while acting within the scope of the  consultant’s duties under the contract with the department if the contract  complies with the requirements of this section. The contract must require that:
 1.The consultant indemnify the state for any  liabilities incurred up to the limits set out in chapter 768.
 2.The consultant establish a quality assurance  program to monitor services delivered under the contract.
 3.The consultant’s quality assurance program,  treatment, and monitoring records be evaluated quarterly.
 4.The consultant’s quality assurance program be  subject to review and approval by the department.
 5.The consultant operate under policies and  procedures approved by the department.
 6.The consultant provide to the department for  approval a policy and procedure manual that comports with all statutes, rules,  and contract provisions approved by the department.
 7.The department be entitled to review the records  relating to the consultant’s performance under the contract for the purpose of  management audits, financial audits, or program evaluation.
 8.All performance measures and standards be subject  to verification and approval by the department.
 9.The department be entitled to terminate the  contract with the consultant for noncompliance with the contract.
 (b)In accordance with s. 284.385, the Department of  Financial Services shall defend any claim, suit, action, or proceeding against  the consultant, the consultant’s officers or employees, or those acting at the  direction of the consultant for the limited purpose of an emergency  intervention on behalf of a licensee or student as described in subsection (2)  when the consultant is unable to perform such intervention which is brought as  a result of any act or omission by any of the consultant’s officers and  employees and those acting under the direction of the consultant for the  limited purpose of an emergency intervention on behalf of a licensee or student  as described in subsection (2) when the consultant is unable to perform such  intervention when such act or omission arises out of and in the scope of the  consultant’s duties under its contract with the department.
 (c)If the consultant retained pursuant to subsection  (2) is retained by any other state agency, and if the contract between such  state agency and the consultant complies with the requirements of this section,  the consultant, the consultant’s officers and employees, and those acting under  the direction of the consultant for the limited purpose of an emergency  intervention on behalf of a licensee or student as described in subsection (2)  when the consultant is unable to perform such intervention shall be considered  agents of the state for the purposes of this section while acting within the  scope of and pursuant to guidelines established in the contract between such  state agency and the consultant.
