According to a recent post at the Health Care Fraud Blog, as of July 1, 2008, a health clinic must have a director that is a MD or DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) before employing a chiropractor. This new law is being put into place so that Doctors of Chiropractics aren’t running these clinics.
Florida Lawmakers cite this as the reason for this new law:
The purpose of this section is to prevent a person other than a licensed chiropractic physician from influencing or otherwise interfering with the exercise of a chiropractic physician's independent professional judgment.
