RICHARD MILLER KREBS, MD ) STIPULATED ORDERLICENSE NO. MD170913 )
1.
The Oregon Medical Board (Board) is the state agency responsible for licensing,
regulating and disciplining certain health care providers, including physicians, in the State of
Oregon. Richard Miller Krebs, MD (Licensee) is a licensed physician in the State of Oregon.
' '2. ■
Licensee is a board-certified internal medicine physician who practiced in Portland,
Oregon. Licensee’s acts and conduct alleged to violate the Medical Practice Act follow:
2.1 In late February of 2018, Licensee diverted medications surrendered to him by his
patients, to include tramadol (Ultram, Schedule IV) and Phenergan with codeine (Schedule V).
Licensee also admitted to using fentanyl (Schedule II) that he purchased online for his personal
use. On March 22, 2018, Licensee self-enrolled into a monitoring agreement with the Health
Professionals’ Services Program (HPSP), in which he agreed to remain in compliance with all
the conditions of the agreement, to include abstaining from the use of alcohol and to submit to
random toxicology testing as requested.
2.2 Licensee has failed to comply with the terms of his HPSP Monitoring Agreement.
Contrary to the terms of the agreement, Licensee failed to call the interactive voice response
(IVR) number as required by the terms of the HPSP Monitoring Agreement on May 24, 2019.
On May 25, 2019, Licensee presented for toxicology testing and produced a urine sample that
was determined to be a dilute specimen. On June 27, 2019, Licensee failed to follow instructions
to provide a urine sample, and instead tested for a PEth blood test, which was negative. On1

July 8, 2019, Licensee presented for an observed urine test. In an attempt to deceive staff at the
collection site, Licensee was observed to be using a prosthetic device with a phallus and an
artificial external bladder containing “clean” urine with temperature control hidden inside his
pant leg. Later that day, Licensee presented for an observed urine test at a second collection site
and this sample tested positive for MDMA (ethylenedioxy-methamphetamine (Ecstasy),
Schedule I). On July 9, 2019, Licensee produced a urine sample which tested positive for
MDMA and reported to his HPSP agreement monitor that his attempt to use a prosthetic urine
delivery device was due to his recent use of MDMA. Each of these events represent an instance
of substantial non-compliance with the terms of Licensee’s HPSP Monitoring Agreement, and
constitute violations of ORS 677.190(l)(a) unprofessional or dishonorable conduct, as defined in
ORS 677.188(4)(a) any conduct or practice contrary to recognized standards of ethics of the
medical profession, or any conduct which does or might constitute a danger to the health or
safety of a patient or the public, or any conduct, practice or condition which does or might
adversely affect a physician’s ability to safely and skillfully to practice medicine; and ORS
677.190(17) willful violation of any Board rule, specifically OAR 847-065-0055.
2.3 Licensee submitted an application for licensure to the Board on May 8, 2012, in
which he disclosed a misdemeanor trespassing charge. Licensee failed to disclose this same
event on the application he submitted to the Board on June 16, 2013. The Board subsequently
learned that Licensee was arrested on two other occasions, which Licensee failed to report on his
applications in 2012 and 2013. Licensee’s failure to disclose all arrests on his applications for
licensure violates ORS 677.190(8) fraud or misrepresentation in applying for a license to practice
in this state; as well as ORS 677.190(l)(a) unprofessional or dishonorable conduct, as defined in
ORS 677.188(4)(a) any conduct or practice contrary to recognized standards of ethics of the
medical profession.

Licensee and the Board desire to settle this matter by entry of this Stipulated Order.
Licensee understands that he has the right to a contested case hearing under the Administrative
Procedures Act (chapter 183), Oregon Revised Statutes. Licensee fully and finally waives the
