21 NCAC 16Q .0204. PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATION OR INSPECTION

(a)  When an evaluation or on-site inspection is required, the Board will designate two or more qualified persons, each of which has administered general anesthesia for at least three years preceding the inspection, exclusive of his training in general anesthesia.  When an on-site inspection involves only a facility and equipment check and not an evaluation of the dentist, the inspection may be accomplished by one or more evaluators.

(b)  Any dentist-member of the Board may observe or consult in any evaluation. 

(c)  The inspection team shall determine compliance with the requirements of the Rules in this Subchapter, as applicable, by assigning a grade of "pass" or "fail".

(d)  Each evaluator shall report his recommendation to the Board, setting forth the details supporting his conclusion.  The Board is not bound by these recommendations.  The Board shall determine whether the applicant has passed the evaluation/inspection and shall notify the applicant in writing of its decision.

(e)  At least a 15-day notice shall be given prior to an evaluation or inspection.  The entire evaluation fee of three hundred seventy five dollars ($375.00) shall be due 10 days after the date of receipt of such notice. An inspection fee of two hundred seventy five dollars ($275.00) shall be due 10 days after the dentist receives notice of the inspection of each additional location at which the dentist administers general anesthesia.
