You need local counsel that has dealt successfully with this CO board and PHP. Here's a list of EMPLOYMENT lawyers,
though not all would be PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE DEFENSE. You want to choose one of the ones designated "employee", and interview them as to their record of success in getting such requirements lifted from CO licensees, and whether they think they can get injunctive relief for you from these requirements using Section 504 of the Rehab act, or in any other way call the bluff of the entity.
A DOJ complaint could be earth-shattering for ALL potential licensees in your situation if they take on your case, but such will not happen quickly.
Here is the DOJ online complaint form:
Contact the Civil Rights Division | Department of Justice
The blog post above details some suggested wording for such a complaint, focusing primarily on licensure questions.
Your situation is a bit different, but the principles are the same. And presumably your difficulties DID begin with licensure questions?
You are a qualified person with a disability under the ADA as someone with an AUD in remission.
You have met the essential eligibility requirements for medical licensure in CO
You have evidence that you have successfully rehabilitated yourself from two independent medical examiners,
and have (?) 3.5 yrs of monitored sobriety.
You have no healthcare or other incidents of any kind related to your former alcohol use on your record.
You truthfully reported all of this on your application for licensure in CO.
You have been ordered to do "x" by "y agency" (quote and attach documentation) in order to obtain even probationary licensure with years more required monitoring,
and you have been (threatened/told that you will be) disciplined and reported to FSMB and NPDB by "y or z" agency, which will taint you throughout your career (if a threat, what are the conditions)
(if the threatening entity is the PHP, be sure to state that you came to their attention ONLY by virtue of your application for licensure with the CO medical board and that the COPHP is exclusively contracted to that licensure board )
and (if true) that you will be required to pay for "x", a surcharge that is not imposed on other applicants for licensure
which you believe subjects you to discrimination on the basis of speculations, myths or stereotypes regarding your disability,
that you are seeking local counsel, and that you believe this may be a pattern or practice of this agency and
you would welcome the opportunity to discuss this issue, with some urgency.
Hope this helps; it is all that I can do, the rest is up to you.
