1. If a designated officer receives a notice from a medical facility, county coroner or medical examiner, as applicable, pursuant to subsection 2 of NRS 450B.370 that insufficient information exists for the medical facility, county coroner or medical examiner to make a determination of whether an emergency response employee was exposed to an infectious disease, the designated officer may submit a request for further evaluation to the health officer in whose jurisdiction the medical facility, county coroner or medical examiner is located. A request submitted pursuant to this subsection must include the original request for a written response submitted by the designated officer pursuant to subsection 2 of NRS 450B.360.
2. If a health officer receives a request for further evaluation pursuant to subsection 1, the health officer shall evaluate the request and the request for a written response submitted by the designated officer pursuant to subsection 2 of NRS 450B.360. An evaluation conducted pursuant to this subsection must be completed as soon as practicable but not later than 48 hours after the request for further evaluation is received.
3. If an evaluation conducted pursuant to subsection 2 indicates that the facts provided to the medical facility, county coroner or medical examiner, as applicable, were:
(a) Sufficient to determine that an emergency response employee was exposed to an infectious disease, the health officer shall, on behalf of the designated officer, resubmit the request to the medical facility, county coroner or medical examiner; or
(b) Insufficient to determine that an emergency response employee was exposed to an infectious disease, the health officer shall advise the designated officer in writing regarding the collection and description of additional facts for further evaluation by the medical facility, county coroner or medical examiner pursuant to NRS 450B.370.
