examination by a licensed physician designated by the
[Commission] BOARD.

(b)  In return for the privilege given to a licensed
physician to practice medicine in this State, the licensed
physician is deemed to have:

section, if requested by the [Commission] BOARD in writing; and

(2)  Waived any claim of privilege as to the testimony
or examination reports of the examining licensed physician.

(c)  At any disciplinary hearing before the [Commission]
BOARD, the failure or refusal of the licensed physician to submit
to an examination is prima facie evidence of the licensed
physician's inability to practice medicine competently, unless
the [Commission] BOARD finds that the failure or refusal was
beyond the control of the licensed physician.

(d)  The [Commission] BOARD shall pay the costs of any
examination made under this section.

(b)  The [Commission] BOARD may set conditions on its
agreement with the physician under investigation or against whom
charges are pending to accept surrender of the physician's
license.
