Law “101” for Chiropractors
Presented by Dana Tierney and Susan Mitchell
Tierney Stauffer LLP is a full service firm that has been providing legal services to the Ottawa community for over 28 years. We are excited to be the Presenting Sponsor of the EOCA Meeting and Dinner on March 9, 2010. Dana Tierney and Susan Mitchell, each of whom is a Partner at our firm, will be addressing numerous legal issues of consideration for chiropractors.
For example, if you are a Clinic Director or Owner, do you know what you need to consider when negotiating or establishing an Agreement with either an Independent Contractor or an Employee of your clinic?
If you are an IC or have engaged in an employment relationship with a Clinic Director or Owner, do you understand the terms of your Agreement or what legal issues you may need to consider before signing on the dotted line?
If you have a patient who is seeking chiropractic care due to an injury sustained from an accident, and a treatment plan or a benefit plan has been denied or terminated for your patient, do you know the procedure available to your patient to dispute the denial or termination of a benefit?
Do you know how to apply for insurance-funded treatment for your patient? Are you aware of how or when the patient should retain a lawyer or contact his or her insurance company? Do you understand the legal process that may affect your client? Do you know how to capture all of your fees for which you may be entitled under the “Professional Services Guideline” pursuant to the Insurance Act?
These are but a few of the legal issues and subjects that Dana and Susan will be addressing. In addition, they will be available to answer any and all of your legal questions. We look forward to meeting each of you.
