Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) A
				  practitioner shall report to the Office, in a manner determined by the Office,
				  the death of a certified patient or change in status of a condition involving a
				  certified patient for whom the practitioner has issued a certification if such
				  change may affect the patient's continued eligibility for certification for use
				  of medical cannabis products. A practitioner shall report such death or change
				  of status not more than five (5) business days after the practitioner becomes
				  aware of such fact.
(b) If a
				  practitioner issues a new certification for a certified patient, then the
				  existing certification and associated registration shall expire upon issuance
				  of the new certification and a new registration expiration date, equivalent to
				  the certification expiration date, shall be established.
(c) A practitioner shall report patient
				  adverse events to the Office, in a manner determined by the Office, not more
				  than five (5) business days after the practitioner becomes aware of such
				  adverse event, except that serious adverse events shall be reported not more
				  than one (1) business day after the practitioner becomes aware of such adverse
				  event.
(d) A certified patient or
				  designated caregiver, who has been issued a registration shall notify the
				  Office of any change in the information provided to the Office not later than
				  ten (10) business days after such change. A certified patient or designated
				  caregiver shall report changes that include, but are not limited to, a change
				  in the certified patient's name, address, contact information, or medical
				  status. A certified patient or designated caregiver shall report such changes
				  on a form, and in a manner, determined by the Office. Should a certified
				  patient cease to have the condition noted on their certification, the certified
				  patient or designated caregiver shall notify the Office of such within ten (10)
				  days and the certified patient's and designated caregiver's registration shall
				  be considered void.
(e) If a
				  certified patient has a designated caregiver, that designated caregiver may
				  notify the Office of any changes on behalf of the certified patient using the
				  same forms and process prescribed for certified patients.
(f) A certified patient or designated
				  caregiver shall notify the Office of any change in demographic information that
				  results in information on the certification being inaccurate.
(g) If a certified patient or designated
				  caregiver becomes aware of the loss, theft or destruction of the registry
				  identification card of such certified patient or designated caregiver, the
				  certified patient or designated caregiver shall notify the Office, on a form
				  and in a manner prescribed by the Office, not later than ten (10) days of
				  becoming aware of the loss, theft or destruction. The Office shall inactivate
				  the initial registry identification card upon receiving such notice and issue a
				  replacement registry identification card provided the applicant continues to
				  satisfy the requirements of Article 3 of the Cannabis Law and section
				  113.4 of this Part.
(i) If a certified patient wishes to change
				  or terminate their designated caregiver, the certified patient shall notify the
				  Office, in a manner determined by the Office, and shall notify their designated
				  caregiver as soon as practicable.
(1) The
				  Office shall issue a notification, in a format determined by the Office, to the
				  designated caregiver and the certified patient that the designated caregiver's
				  registration is invalid.
(2) In the
				  event that the certified patient has selected another designated caregiver, the
				  proposed designated caregiver must register with the Office as defined in
				  section 113.5 of this Part.
