Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, § 97931.06 - Process for Reinstatement into the Program
(a) A physician who leaves the program may
petition the program for reinstatement into the program. The petition shall be
in writing, accompanied by those documents necessary to establish the basis for
the petition, and shall be filed with the program not later than 365 calendar
days after the date of the notification from the program described in section
97931.05(b). The
petition shall explain why the factors contributing to the petitioner's
inability to complete the prior obligation no longer exist. The petition shall
be accompanied by a certification under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by
the practice setting's administrative officer, whose name is printed below
his/her signature, that the facility has entered into an agreement with the
physician for a minimum of three years; that the physician can speak a Medi-Cal
threshold language; that it will pay the physician a prevailing wage and not
offset any loan repayments by the program against the physician's salary; and
that it is a "practice setting" as defined in Section
128552(i) of the
code. A petition shall be accepted for filing only if it is based on one or
more of the following grounds:
(1) The
physician was terminated without cause.
(2) The physician was unable to complete the
required three years of service due to factors beyond the physician's
control.
(3) Both the practice
setting and the physician agreed to the termination of the physician's
employment.
(b) The
program shall review the petition and supporting documents and shall notify the
petitioner in writing of its decision within 60 working days after receipt of a
complete petition. The program shall decide the petition based upon, in its
sole discretion, available funds and the cultural and linguistic needs, and
demands of the underserved populations, and the petitioner's ability to comply
with the terms of the program.
