A motion was made and unanimously carried to terminate the Consent Order of Patrick O’Donnell, D.O.
(Muscari/Thymius)
Reports From Supervising Physicians:
Reports were received from the Supervising Physicians for Jane Kelley-Tallman, D.O. and Brian McDevitt,
D.O. as required in their Consent Orders. Both physicians were reported in compliance.
NEW BUSINESS:
Executive Director Report:
1) Ad Hoc Committee on Regulatory Issues: The meeting of the Ad Hoc Committee
meeting with the West Virginia Board of Medicine scheduled for January 4, 2019, was
postponed. The meeting will be rescheduled at a later date.
2) Osteopathic Growing Profession: An article in “The DO” reported the number of DO’s
have more than tripled nationally since 1990. It also noted that 65% of all DO’s in active
practice were under the age of 45 with women comprising 41% of the active practices.
3) Survey on PDMP Utilization: Marshall University is conducting a survey as part of their
“WV SPF-RX Program” designed to examine perceptions, attitudes and knowledge about
prescription drug misuse and related contributing factors in West Virginia. The Board
supported this survey being made available on the Board Website to invite licensees to
participate.
-3-
4) FSMB Annual Meeting Scholarships: The Board has received scholarship applications
for the Voting Delegate and the Executive Director for the 2019 Annual Meeting of the
FSMB being held in Fort Worth. A motion was made and unanimously carried to select
Jimmy Adams, D.O. as the voting delegate for 2019 and Diana Shepard, CMBE, to
attend as the Board Executive under the FSMB scholarships. Board Counsel will be
attending with registration and expenses covered by the Board. (Thymius/Jones)
5) Post Audit Report – Chapter 30 Boards: The results of an audit of all Chapter 30
Boards from 2016 through 2018 was conducted by the Post Audit Division of the
Legislative Auditors. This audit was performed to identify those Chapter 30 Boards
who maintain more than 2 years of their annual budget in reserves. HB 2510 has
been introduced to insure that when the special fund of any board accumulates to an
amount which exceeds twice the annual budget or $10,000 (whichever is greater) the
State Treasurer is required to transfer the excess funds to the General Revenue Fund.
Since the bill reflects the funds will be accounted for at the end of the fiscal year, and
that is when most boards have just completed their license renewals to replenish their
funds, the West Virginia Board of Osteopathic Medicine requests this sweeping of
funds be conducted under a “cost accounting system” as opposed to the current “cash
accounting system.
Legislative Issues:
1) Proposed changes to Telemedicine Statute:
Tom Susman, TSG, addressed the Board and explained the purpose of the draft bill
being considered to allow for immediate administration of a controlled substance via
via telemedicine to a hospital inpatient. The purpose of this bill is to provide coverage
in an Intensive Care Unit through a telemedicine provider who is contracted with the
hospital facility and has clinical privileges through the hospital credentialing
program. A motion was made and passed with one negative vote. (Thymius/Jones)
2) Current Proposed Legislation:
The Board reviewed a list of several House and Senate Bills being proposed for
healthcare issues. Other than the telemedicine bill referenced above, no action was
recommended on any other currently proposed legislation.
The Board moved into Executive Session at 2:30 PM with the Executive Director and Board Counsel present.
(Adams/Thymius)
The Board moved back into Public Session at 3:30 PM. (Adams/Muscari)

that unnecessary complaints will not be opened. In the interim, a letter
of concern will be mailed to each physician reported by the CSMP with
a response required.

Kenneth A. Onuorah, D.O.
Barbara Walker, D.O. (AOA)

AOA Presentation:
Dr. Walker and Ms. Richards were invited to speak to the Board on the issue of AOA required internship
for licensing or an option for 40 hours of Category 1A, AOA CME with at least 10 hours in OMT.
Dr. Walker reported that West Virginia is one of three states still requiring an AOA internship for licensure
now that the AOA and ACGME have begun the transition of AOA/ACGME accredited residency
programs. West Virginia is the only state that requires AOA, CME prior to licensure if an AOA internship
has not been approved through Resolution 42. This is becoming a disadvantage for osteopathic licensure in
West Virginia.

NEW BUSINESS:
Executive Director Report:
1) 2018 CME Audit Results: The results of the 2018 CME Audit was presented. A 10%
audit of the 475 license renewals reflected a 96% compliance rate. One physician did
not have documentation of the required 16 AOA hours and a second physician did not
respond to the audit at all. No motion made to open complaints.
2) Board Funds Misdirected to BRIM: A transfer of Board funds through the wrong
interface between the licensing database software vendor and the WV State Treasurer’s
Office has resulted in an overpayment to BRIM of $47,400. Several meetings were held
with all transactions from March 2017 being reviewed to determine the final figure to be
reimbursed to the Board. The Executive Director hopes to have the funds re-directed to
the Board’s account before the end of this fiscal year.
Legislative Issues:
1) AOA Internship Requirement:
The West Virginia Board of Osteopathic Medicine will continue to review this issue and
will work with the West Virginia Osteopathic Medical Association if regulatory changes
are required prior to the full implementation of the AOA/ACGME transition in 2020.
2) SB668 and Required Changes to PA Statute:
The Board’s Legal Counsel is working with the West Virginia Board of Medicine in
drafting legislative rule changes with the passing of SB 668. If the collaborating
physician or the physician assistant has been credentialed by a hospital or ambulatory
surgical facility as a condition of employment and the scope of practice has been
reviewed and approved by the governing body of the health care facility or the
ambulatory surgical facility, that contract can replace the Practice Agreement.
3) SB199 Requires Revisions to 24 CSR 01:
Legal Counsel has already submitted legislative rule changes for 24 CSR 01 to delete
patient testimonials from the list of possible disciplinary actions in advertising.
4) SB396 Requiring No Application Fee for Low Income Applicants:
Board Counsel is working on rules to establish a process by which low income
determinations can be made for osteopathic applicants.
Updates were also provided on additional medical legislation that was approved or vetoed by the Governor in 2019.
The Board recessed from 10:30 AM until 10:40 AM.
The Board moved into Executive Session at 10:40 AM with the Executive Director and Board Counsel present.

You may also be fi ned if not registered with the CSMP.
Please do not discard this publication!Important License Renewal Information Enclosed!!!
NOTICE TO STATE MEDICAL BOARDS REGARDINGALARMING TRENDS IN PRESCRIBING
Three business arrangements are being implemented throughout the United States that may violate federal and state anti-kickback and fraud laws, as well as violate provisions related to prescribing as set forth in your state’s medical practice act. They are as follows:
1) Compounding pharmacies are hiring marketing fi rms to approach medical practices and/or their staff with proposals to offer “bonuses” if they prescribe through that pharmacy. However, the prescriptions are routed through call centers and these “bonuses” may be classifi ed as kickbacks under federal and state laws.
2) These same call centers are being used to route prescriptions to specifi c pharmacies that have contracts with the patient’s insurer. Drug combinations may be altered at the pharmacy to fi nd an insurer who will reimburse for that combination. Modifi cations are done outside the purview of the pharmacists and result in exorbitant reimbursements of thousands for what may have been sold for dollars at the local pharmacy. This is not in reference to approved formulary changes in hospital or institution-based pharmacies.
3) These deceptive business practices have also been found to change labels on medications in order to provide the originally prescribed medication using a label that results in maximum reimbursement from an insurer.

INTERSTATE MEDICAL LICENSURE COMPACT GOES LIVE!
WV Legislature passed the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact during their 2016 legislative session. The IMLC provides for an expedited license to practice in physician-selected member states within the Compact. Currently, 18 states have adopted the Compact Legislation. Please see the map to determine those states who have already passed the legislation and those who have introduced it in their 2017 state legislatures.
In June 2016, the Commission had hoped to have the expedited licensure process available on their website, IMLCC.org by January 2017. However, that date was delayed until April 3, 2017. A HRSA grant of $250,000 has been awarded to aid in the development of this licensing process and Bylaws and Rules have been developed and approved by the Commission for this work.
All Commission meetings are public as it is an extension of all member state governments and it has received a great deal of interest from a variety of practice groups, corporations and healthcare institutions.

2017 LEGISLATIVE CHANGESAFFECTING OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIANS & PA’S
The following is a list of some of the legislation passed during the 2017 Legislative Session which may affect your practice of Osteopathic Medicine:
SB 4: Changes §30-14-12b to allow Osteopathic physician in good standing to donate medical care of the indigent and needy under an arrangement with a clinic organized to provide free care. The services may be provided in a clinic setting or in the physician’s offi ce.

At the printing of this newsletter, plans have been confi rmed for the Fifth Annual Appalachian Addiction & Prescription Drug Abuse Conference. This year’s conference will be held in Charleston on October 19-22, 2017, and promises to provide another superb list of speakers including DHHR Secretary Bill Crouch, Public Health Commissioner Rahul Gupta, M.D., Director of NIH and second White House Drug Chief Robert DuPont, M.D. and WV Chief Medical Examiner Allen Mock, M.D. and many other state and national experts including the Deans of all three medical schools.
The West Virginia Medical Professionals Health Program (WVMPHO) has been operational for 7+ years. It continues to be the only physician health program recognized by both West Virginia Licensing Boards. To date, there have been 169 participants of whom 80 continue under an agreement impacting 32 hospitals/medical schools and many other areas of organized medicine. WVMPHP has served an excess of 100 others who have sought assistance and guidance relative to the services provided by the WVMPHP. Less than 1/3 of signed participants were referred by their licensure boards. The vast majority have voluntarily sought assistance and guidance.
Of those who have completed the initial phase of treatment and are under contract; 90% have remained abstinent, licensed and are practicing safely. THAT FIGURE IS ASTOUNDING IN THIS REALM OF TREATMENT! 22% of current participants are medical students and/or residents refl ecting on the eff ectiveness of early intervention and salvaging careers, individuals and families.
The WV Medical Health Professionals Program and its board members continue active involvement with organized medicine, legislative committees, hospitals, credentialing bodies, malpractice carriers, insurance payers and other venues where the experience and expertise is sought and benefi cial. As the WV Board of Osteopathic Medicine continues to support WVMPHP through a portion of its licensing fees, we ask that others within the healthcare community who have benefi ted from this program, pledge their support to WVMPHP for the benefi t of our healthcare providers and to the benefi t of West Virginia and the public we serve.

LICENSES DUE TO EXPIRE MARCH 31, 2017
If you received a postcard with this newsletter, that means your license is
scheduled for renewal before March 31, 2017. Just follow the steps on
www.wvbdosteo.org. to renew between February 1st and March 31st, 2017.
CURRENT WV OSTEOPATHIC STATISTICS
As of the printing of this newsletter the following
statistics reflect the licensing of osteopaths in the state
of West Virginia:
Total Number of Physicians
Licensed in West Virginia 1,261
Total Number Practicing
in West Virginia: 973
Total Number of Osteopathic PA’s
Licensed in West Virginia: 240
LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR
OSTEOPATHIC RESIDENTS Whether you are in an allopathic or osteopathic post graduate
program, if you were a graduate of an Osteopathic Medical
School, received a D.O. degree and are participating in a
residency program anywhere in West Virginia, you MUST have
an Educational Permit. If, after the first year, you decide you
would rather have a full, unrestricted license, you may apply.
However, if you do not want or need a full license, you MUST
renew your Educational Permit every year while in training.
All Educational Permits expire on June 30th like a regular license and MUST be
renewed annually. There have been recent situations when the resident did not renew
the ED Permit nor acquire a full license before July 1st and exposed themselves to
possible disciplinary action by the WV Board of Osteopathic Medicine for practicing
without a license. Once this disciplinary action is taken, that resident will have to
report that action in every state thereafter in which they may apply for a license.
If you are a resident, intern or a licensed D.O. responsible for post graduate training,
please make sure everyone understands the importance of this process. It is NOT
required by the West Virginia Board of Medicine and, if your allopathic colleagues
are telling you it is not required, that may be true for them but not for you as an
Osteopath.
The Educational Permit applications for renewal can be found on our website,
www.wvbdosteo.org. under “Resident Applications.” If you are still in a training
program and have applied for a full license, but have not had your interview for
licensure prior to June 1, 2017, you probably should apply for an Educational Permit
Renewal to cover your practice of medicine after July 1st.

CHANGES TO DEA REGISTRATION RENEWAL PROCESS
BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2017
The DEA has announced some critical changes in its registration renewal process that all
prescribing health providers should be made aware and take heed.
1) Beginning January 1, 2017, the DEA will send only one single renewal
notice to each registrant stating this his/her DEA registration is set to expire.
The notice will be sent to the “mail to” address on file with the agency, will be
mailed about 65 days in advance of the scheduled expiration date and NO
ADDITIONAL REMINDERS will be sent.
2) In addition, a current DEA registrant WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RENEW
their DEA after the expiration date. They will be required to go back to square
one to apply for a new DEA registration with a new DEA number. The original
registration WILL NOT be reinstated.
3) Also, paper renewals received after the expiration date will not be
accepted. If the agency fails to receive a registrant’s paper renewal and
supporting material by the expiration date, they will be returned, and the
registrant will need to submit an application for a new DEA registration.
What this will mean for prescriptions written on an expired DEA is they will not be
honored and patients will not be able to receive their medications, including an
emergency 72-hour supply. Then the prescription’s validity comes into question, and
could create unanticipated fallout for state prescription drug monitoring programs
(CSMP) should reports from pharmacies that make the error and fill the prescriptions
reach the CSMP.
IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIFORM
APPLICATION
The West Virginia Board of Osteopathic Medicine has been working with FSMB and
Albertson Consulting, Inc. to make the FSMB’s Uniform Application (U/A) available to
any and all applicants wishing to use the U/A. The go-live date is scheduled for Monday,
January 9, 2017. Any new applicant after that date will be given the option to complete
the U/A and have it stored at the Federation of State Medical Boards office in Euless, TX
or just complete the required West Virginia application for licensure. If you have
questions, please call the Board’s Licensure Analyst, Melanie Horn at (304) 558-6095.
