Attention: All DCs Insured By CARE

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

A message for all policyholders from the Florida Department of Insurance -- Fraud Division:

"An individual named William A. Rose through an association by the name of CARE, Chiropractic Association for Research & Education, is marketing medical malpractice "insurance" to chiropractors in Florida and other states. The insurance was first provided by a company called Professional Indemnity Corporation and now by a company called Insurance Company of Great Britain.

"Neither of these companies are licensed to transact insurance in any of the 50 states.

"If anyone in any state has purchased insurance from CARE and has an unpaid claim or pending claim, please contact Gail Conneil at the Florida Department of Insurance/Fraud Division in Tallahassee at (904) 922-3115, ext. 4037 or by fax to (904) 488-2632."

Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?

The term standard of care is a legal term and a medical concept. There is no single, universally recognized standard of care document or authoritative reference. The medical concept defines what practitioners should do in practice. The legal term used determines whether a practitioner failed to meet that expectation. This article examines the standard of care for the doctor of chiropractic.
