Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 59-328.67: Appeal to state mediation appeals committee

The patient or dentist may appeal the recommendation of the

mediation committee to an appellate body to be known as the state

mediation appeals committee. A request for an appeal shall be

timely filed and conducted in accordance with the prescribed rules.

A party must first request an appeal with the state mediation

appeals committee before proceeding with a final appeal to the Board

of Dentistry. If no intermediate appeal is provided by the

applicable mediation program rules, a party may proceed directly to

a final appeal before the Board of Dentistry, pursuant to Section

328.68 of this title. The state mediation appeals committee may

either affirm, modify or reverse the recommendation of the mediation

committee, and shall issue its written nonbinding recommendation to

the parties.
