227 | (1) With the exception of facilities licensed under |

229 | facilities, or offices that are primarily engaged in the |
230 | treatment of pain by prescribing or dispensing controlled |
231 | substance medications, referred to as "clinics" in this section, |
232 | and advertise in any medium for any type of pain-management |
233 | services, or that employ a physician who is primarily engaged in |
234 | the treatment of pain by prescribing or dispensing controlled |
235 | substance medications, must register with the department by |
236 | January 4, 2010. A physician may not practice medicine in a |

239 | that a privately owned pain-management clinic is owned, directly |
240 | or indirectly, by a person who has been convicted of any felony |
241 | in this state or any other state or the United States, the |
242 | department shall refuse to issue a certificate of registration |
243 | to the clinic or shall revoke a certificate of registration |
244 | previously issued by the department. As used in this subsection, |
245 | the term "convicted" includes an adjudication of guilt on a plea |
246 | of guilty or nolo contendere, or the forfeiture of a bond when |
247 | charged with a crime. Each clinic location shall be registered |
248 | separately regardless of whether the clinic is operated under |
249 | the same business name or management as another clinic. If the |
250 | clinic is licensed as a health care clinic under chapter 400, |
251 | the medical director is responsible for registering the facility |
252 | with the department. If the clinic is not registered pursuant to |
253 | chapter 395 or chapter 400, the clinic shall, upon registration |
254 | with the department, designate a physician who is responsible |
255 | for complying with all requirements related to registration of |
256 | the clinic. The designated physician shall be licensed under |
257 | this chapter or chapter 459 and shall practice at the office |
258 | location for which the physician has assumed responsibility. The |
259 | department shall inspect the clinic annually to ensure that it |
260 | complies with rules of the board adopted pursuant to this |
261 | subsection and subsection (2) unless the clinic is accredited by |
262 | a nationally recognized accrediting agency approved by the |
263 | board. Registration under this section automatically expires |
264 | after 2 years without further action by the board or the |
265 | department unless an application for renewal is approved by the |
266 | board. The actual costs for registration and inspection or |
267 | accreditation shall be paid by the physician seeking to register |
268 | the clinic. |
269 | (2) The board shall adopt rules setting forth standards of |
270 | practice for physicians practicing in privately owned pain- |

290 | nonmalignant pain. Chronic nonmalignant pain is pain unrelated |

292 | or the injury that is the cause of the pain or more than 90 days |
293 | after surgery. |

298 | employs one or more physicians who are primarily engaged in the |
299 | treatment of pain by prescribing or dispensing controlled |
300 | substance medications, is exempt from the registration |
