Idaho Statutes Title 54. Professions, Vocations, and Businesses § 54-5907. Prescriptive rights

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) Licensed naturopathic doctors may be granted certain prescriptive rights as part of their scope of practice. However, prescriptive rights for licensed naturopathic doctors shall be granted and maintained only if the licensed naturopathic doctor:

(a) Currently possesses and maintains a full federal drug enforcement agency (DEA) registration that is in good standing prior to seeking prescriptive rights under his license;

(b) Has completed at least forty-five (45) credit hours of pharmacology from an institution accredited by the United States department of education; and

(c) Possesses a current, valid, and unrestricted license issued pursuant to title 54, Idaho Code, that permits such person to prescribe legend drugs.

(2) Licensed naturopathic doctors' individual prescriptive rights pursuant to this section shall be limited to all medications, treatments, or any other item to be prescribed as outlined and approved by the board. However, the board shall not approve any medication, treatment, or any other similar item that is not approved by the formulary committee.

(3) This section shall not and is not intended to authorize group licensure for all individuals licensed under this chapter. Each licensed naturopathic doctor must, on an individual basis, receive approval from the board to prescribe legend drugs as a licensed naturopathic doctor.

(4) The board, by rule, shall ensure that any approval of a licensed naturopathic doctor's request to prescribe as a licensed naturopathic doctor does not exceed the prescriptive scope the licensed naturopathic doctor previously possessed prior to licensure under this chapter.
