216.941 License or certificate requirements for voluntary provision of health

care -- Registration -- Availability of information -- Report.

(1) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no additional license or

certificate otherwise required under the provisions of KRS Chapters 211, 216,

311, 312, or 314 shall be necessary for the voluntary provision of health care

services by any person who:

(a) Is a charitable health care provider as defined in KRS 216.940; or

(b) Does not regularly practice in the Commonwealth.

(2) No person whose license or certificate is suspended or revoked under

disciplinary proceedings in any jurisdiction, nor any person who renders

services outside of the scope of practice authorized by his or her licensure or

certification or exception to license or certification shall be allowed to

participate with any sponsoring organization as a charitable health care

provider.

(3) Before providing charitable health care services in this state, a charitable

health care provider or sponsoring organization shall register with the Cabinet

for Health and Family Services by filing a registration form that shall contain the

following information:

(a) The name, address, and phone number of the charitable health care

provider;

(b) Written and verifiable documentation of a current Kentucky license

including, if applicable, a license granted to an individual under a

reciprocal agreement with another state or country;

(c) The name, principal office address, phone number, and principal officer of

any sponsoring organization;

(d) The dates, locations, types of services, and intended recipients of any

charitable health care services to be performed in the state;

(e) Information as to any medical malpractice insurance procured under KRS

304.40-075 or otherwise; and

(f) Other information as the cabinet may require by administrative regulation.

(4) The cabinet shall provide, upon request of the charitable health care provider

or sponsoring organization, any information available as to declared

emergencies, underserved populations, and lack of access to health care in the

state that will assist the charitable health care provider or sponsoring

organization in the provision of these services.

(5) Boards of health created under KRS Chapter 212 may submit requests for

charitable health care providers in their jurisdictions to be listed in any

information provided.

(6) Each sponsoring organization shall maintain a list of health care providers

associated with its provision of charitable health care services. For each health

care provider, the sponsoring organization shall maintain a copy of a current

license, certificate, or statement of exemption from licensure or certification and

shall require each health care provider to attest in writing that his or her license

or certificate is not suspended or revoked under disciplinary proceedings in any

jurisdiction. The sponsoring organization shall maintain its records of charitable

health care providers for at least five (5) years after the provision of charitable

health care services, including actual dates, types of services, and recipients of

charitable health care services, and shall furnish these records upon the

request of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Compliance with this

section shall be prima facie evidence that the sponsoring organization has

exercised due care in selecting charitable health care providers.

(7) The cabinet may revoke the registration of any charitable health care provider

or sponsoring organization for failure to comply with the provisions of KRS

216.940 to 216.945, in accordance with the provisions of KRS Chapter 13B.

(8) The cabinet shall report the name and location of individuals registered with

the cabinet as charitable health care providers upon request.
