Title VIII of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act is amended by inserting after section 802 ( 25 U.S.C. 1672 ) the following: As part of the hiring process for each health care provider position at the Service after the date of enactment of the Restoring Accountability in the Indian Health Service Act of 2022 , the Director shall require from the medical board of each State in which the health care provider has or had a medical license— information on any violation of the requirements of the medical license of the health care provider during the 20-year period ending on the date on which the health care provider is being considered for a position at the Service; and information on whether the health care provider has entered into any settlement agreement for a disciplinary charge relating to the practice of medicine by the health care provider.
Notwithstanding section 552a of title 5, United States Code, with respect to each health care provider of the Service who has violated a requirement of the medical license of the health care provider, the Director shall provide to the medical board of each State in which the health care provider is licensed detailed information with respect to the violation, regardless of whether the medical board has formally requested that information. . Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Director of the Indian Health Service shall submit to the Committee on Indian Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives a report on the compliance by the Indian Health Service with the policy of the Indian Health Service— to conduct a review of each health care provider of the Indian Health Service who transfers to another medical facility of the Indian Health Service, resigns, retires, or is terminated to determine whether there are any concerns, complaints, or allegations of violations relating to the medical practice of the health care provider; and to take appropriate action with respect to any concern, complaint, or allegation described in paragraph (1).
