10. Continued Compliance with a Contract with an Impaired Physicians<br />
Committee: Dr. Meyer shall maintain continued compliance with the terms <strong>of</strong> the<br />
2005 contract entered into with OPHP, or with another impaired physicians<br />
committee approved by the <strong>Board</strong>, to assure continuous assistance in recovery and/or<br />
aftercare.<br />
11. Continued Psychological Treatment: Dr. Meyer shall continue psychological<br />
counseling every other week for a minimum <strong>of</strong> twenty sessions, or as otherwise<br />
directed by the <strong>Board</strong>, pursuant to the August 9, 2006, Step II agreement. Dr. Meyer<br />
shall comply with his psychological counseling treatment plan, and shall ensure that<br />
psychotherapy reports are forwarded by his psychologist or other licensed mental<br />
health pr<strong>of</strong>essional to the <strong>Board</strong> on a quarterly basis, or as otherwise directed by the<br />
<strong>Board</strong>. The psychotherapy reports shall contain the following information: Dr.<br />
Meyer’s current psychological counseling treatment plan and any changes that have<br />
been made to the psychological counseling treatment plan since the prior report; Dr.<br />
Meyer’s compliance with his psychological counseling treatment plan; Dr. Meyer’s<br />
mental status; and Dr. Meyer’s progress in treatment. In addition, Dr. Meyer shall<br />
ensure that his psychologist or other licensed mental health pr<strong>of</strong>essional immediately<br />
notifies the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> Dr. Meyer’s failure to comply with his psychological counseling<br />
treatment plan. The psychologist previously approved by the <strong>Board</strong> pursuant to the<br />
August 9, 2006, Step II agreement is hereby approved to continue as Dr. Meyer’s<br />
psychologist under this Order, unless within thirty days <strong>of</strong> the effective date <strong>of</strong> this<br />
Order, Dr. Meyer submits to the <strong>Board</strong> for its prior approval the name and curriculum<br />
vitae <strong>of</strong> an alternative psychologist.<br />
In the event that the designated psychologist or other licensed mental health<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional becomes unable or unwilling to serve in this capacity, Dr. Meyer must<br />
immediately so notify the <strong>Board</strong> in writing and make arrangements acceptable to the<br />
<strong>Board</strong> for another psychologist or other appropriately licensed mental health<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional as soon as practicable. Dr. Meyer shall further ensure that the previously<br />
designated psychologist or licensed mental health pr<strong>of</strong>essional also notifies the <strong>Board</strong><br />
directly <strong>of</strong> his or her inability to continue to serve and the reasons therefore.<br />
Dr. Meyer shall continue with psychological counseling until such time as the <strong>Board</strong><br />
determines that no further treatment is necessary. To make this determination, the<br />
<strong>Board</strong> shall require a report from the approved psychologist or other licensed mental<br />
health pr<strong>of</strong>essional, indicating that Dr. Meyer has completed at least twenty<br />
psychological counseling sessions and that further psychological counseling sessions<br />
are not necessary.<br />
C. CONDITIONS FOR REINSTATEMENT OR RESTORATION: The <strong>Board</strong> shall not<br />
consider reinstatement or restoration <strong>of</strong> Dr. Meyer’s certificate to practice allopathic
