Section 13.03. Exceptions to communication of alternate modes of treatment.

Latest version.

The chiropractor's duty to inform patients of alternate modes of treatment does not require disclosure of any of the following:

(1) Detailed technical information that in all probability a patient would not understand.

(2) Risks apparent or known to the patient.

(3) Extremely remote possibilities that might falsely or detrimentally alarm the patient.

(4) Information in emergencies where failure to provide treatment would be more harmful to the patient than treatment.

(5) Information in cases where the patient is incapable of consenting.

(6) Information about alternate modes of treatment for any condition the chiropractor has not included in their diagnosis at the time the chiropractor informs the patient.
