The regulation, as printed
(a) An MPN applicant shall obtain from each physician participating in the MPN a written acknowledgment in which the physician affirmatively elects to be a member of the MPN as provided in this section. This section does not apply to a physician who is a shareholder, partner, or employee of a medical group that elects to participate in the MPN, however this section applies to the medical group that elects to participate in the MPN. (b) The following persons may execute the acknowledgment: (1) If the acknowledgment is for one or more physicians, it shall be executed by: (A) The physician(s); or (B) An employee of the physician or an employee of the physician's office; or (C) If authorized by the physician(s), an agent or representative of a medical group. (2) If a medical group elects to participate in an MPN, an authorized officer or agent of the medical group shall execute the acknowledgment. Unless the acknowledgment is for all physicians who are shareholders, partners, or employees of a medical group, or all physicians in a distinct department or unit of the medical group, the acknowledgement shall include or refer to a list of the participating physicians, and the officer or agent shall update the list within 90 days of any additions to or removals from the list. (c) A written acknowledgment may be in any of the following forms: (1) A tangible document bearing an original signature, or a facsimile or electronic image of the original document and signature.

Not a comment on the rule — most of Title 8 never reaches a published panel decision, because most of it is followed without argument. The text above is the state's own.
