The Oregon Medical Board (Board) is the state agency responsible for licensing,
regulating and disciplining certain health care providers, including physicians, in the State of
Oregon. Richard Miller Krebs, MD (Licensee) is a licensed physician in the State of Oregon.

Oregon. Licensee’s acts and conduct alleged to violate the Medical Practice Act follow:
2.1 In late February of 2018, Licensee diverted medications surrendered to him by his
patients, to include tramadol (Ultram, Schedule IV) and Phenergan with codeine (Schedule V).
Licensee also admitted to using fentanyl (Schedule II) that he purchased online for his personal
use. On March 22, 2018, Licensee self-enrolled into a monitoring agreement with the Health
Professionals’ Services Program (HPSP), in which he agreed to remain in compliance with all
the conditions of the agreement, to include abstaining from the use of alcohol and to submit to
random toxicology testing as requested.

July 8, 2019, Licensee presented for an observed urine test. In an attempt to deceive staff at the
collection site, Licensee was observed to be using a prosthetic device with a phallus and an
artificial external bladder containing “clean” urine with temperature control hidden inside his
pant leg. Later that day, Licensee presented for an observed urine test at a second collection site
and this sample tested positive for MDMA (ethylenedioxy-methamphetamine (Ecstasy),
Schedule I). On July 9, 2019, Licensee produced a urine sample which tested positive for
MDMA and reported to his HPSP agreement monitor that his attempt to use a prosthetic urine
delivery device was due to his recent use of MDMA. Each of these events represent an instance
of substantial non-compliance with the terms of Licensee’s HPSP Monitoring Agreement, and
constitute violations of ORS 677.190(l)(a) unprofessional or dishonorable conduct, as defined in
ORS 677.188(4)(a) any conduct or practice contrary to recognized standards of ethics of the
medical profession, or any conduct which does or might constitute a danger to the health or
safety of a patient or the public, or any conduct, practice or condition which does or might
adversely affect a physician’s ability to safely and skillfully to practice medicine; and ORS
677.190(17) willful violation of any Board rule, specifically OAR 847-065-0055.
2.3 Licensee submitted an application for licensure to the Board on May 8, 2012, in
