What responsibility does the Chiropractor of Record have concerning facility license expiry?

The Chiropractor of Record holds significant responsibility related to the management of the facility's licensure. When a facility's license expires, it is imperative that the Chiropractor of Record appears before the Board. This requirement is rooted in the principle that the Chiropractor is not only responsible for overseeing patient care but also for ensuring that the practice complies with all state regulations and maintains valid licensure. The Board needs to confirm the circumstances surrounding the expiration and can provide guidance on how to rectify the situation, reinforcing accountability within the profession.

Other responsibilities may comprise notifying employees or managing administrative permissions, but these tasks do not specifically address the licensure aspect in the way that an appearance before the Board does. It's also not sufficient merely to submit changes to facility operations, as these actions do not inherently resolve the issue of an expired license or its implications for the practice's legal standing. Thus, the requirement to appear before the Board ensures that the Chiropractor of Record addresses any licensure issues directly, upholding the integrity and legality of their practice.
