Funding Sources
Expenditures and revenues are not always equal. Revenue needs and fee amounts are based on estimated expenses and number of revenue payers. These estimates may vary from actual expenses and numbers of payers. Revenue collected that exceeds expenditures remains with the agency and is considered when calculating total revenue needed for the following year.
The following table displays the amount of revenue generated and the amount of expenditures for the Colorado Medical Board for fiscal years 05-06 and 06-07, and an estimate for fiscal year 07-08.

Trends
In
September 2004, the Colorado Medical Board dramatically
revised Board Rule 400. The Board took
steps to expand the flexibility of the supervising relationship
between a physician supervisor and physician assistant based on
the work-time experience of the PA.
The number of disciplinary actions taken against physicians supervising unlicensed health care providers has increased. Some of these disciplinary actions were in situations wherein the relationship between the delegating physician and delegatee was not in compliance with Board Rule 800.
The Board has adopted a position regarding misleading, deceptive or false advertising. Physicians should take special care to advertise truthfully and avoid exploitation of their position of trust. Because of the potential consequences of misinformation regarding health care and the importance of the interests affected by the choice of a physician, physicians must avoid misleading the public. Physicians are responsible for the contents of their own advertisements and should review such advertisements to assure adherence to ethical standards. Refer to Board Rule 290.
The Board has seen a rise in fraudulent applications and urges all who hire medical providers to know whom they are hiring. The Board urges you to take the responsibility to check the individual's license status.
