Before a health care facility may allow an individual to work as a qualified medication aide, the health care facility must verify that an individual has met certification requirements of this chapter and is included on the registry established under IC 16-27.5-1 . However, an individual may begin working if the individual can prove that the individual:

1. (1) successfully completed a qualified medication aide training and competency evaluation program approved by the commission; and
2. (2) has not yet been included on the registry.
