PROVIDED SUMMARY
Patient Funds Held in Trust by Chiropractic Physicians; Removes limitation on amount of patient funds chiropractic physician may hold in trust for specified purposes.
Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDRemoves the $1,500 cap on patient funds chiropractors hold in trust.
Chiropractors must hold certain patient money, like advances for the costs of an exam or treatment, in trust, usable only for the purpose it was advanced for.
That $1,500 cap disappears entirely, letting a chiropractor hold a larger advance of a patient's money in trust for the same purpose, with no stated new limit.
KEY PROVISIONS
AIThe cap limiting chiropractor-held patient trust funds, such as advances for exam or treatment costs, to no more than $1,500 is deleted outright, with no replacement limit stated.
