CalChiro's Fall 2021 Conference presents "Corporate Structure and Ethics in Healthcare" with speakers Jehan N. Jayakumar Esq. & Kathy W. Nichols Esq. from Carlson & Jayakumar, LLP.

Each year, the Board of Chiropractic Examiners allocates a significant portion of its operating budget to enforcement-related activities. As a result, doctors of chiropractic  are under increased scrutiny relating to their office practices, including potential ethics violations. A Board investigation can be costly, time-consuming, and stressful, and can result in penalties including sizable fines and revocation of license. This course is designed to help practicing clinicians mitigate the risk of an enforcement action by providing comprehensive information on the most common violations and ways to ensure that your practice is compliant with State and Board regulations. The presentation will also feature a discussion on corporate structure and common mistakes chiropractors make when incorporating their practice, whether forming a chiropractic or multi-disciplinary corporation. Topics covered in this course include sources of complaints to the Board of Chiropractic Examiners, best practices for billing and record keeping, required patient disclosures, common ethics violations, determining factors for penalties, an outline of a licensing case, and costs associated with trial.
