Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 8, § 13 - Physician's Specialty
(a)
A physician's specialty(ies) is one for which the physician is board certified
or, one for which a medical doctor or doctor of osteopathy has completed a
postgraduate specialty training as defined in Section
11(a)(2)(A) or
held an appointment as a QME in that specialty on June 30, 2000, pursuant to
Labor Code Section
139.2. To be
listed as a QME in a particular specialty, the physician's licensing board must
recognize the designated specialty board and the applicant for QME status must
have provided to the Administrative Director documentation from the relevant
board of certification or qualification.
(b) All requests by a physician to add or
remove a medical specialty shall be in writing. A physician seeking to add or
change specialties shall include the documentation specified in subdivision (a)
that establishes the physician is board certified in the specialty or the
subspecialty recognized by the Administrative Director that the physician
wishes to add. The failure to provide proof of board certification shall be
grounds to deny the request.
