The chiropractic world became aware virtually just last week that CCE proposed accreditation standard revisions were posted for comment with a closing date of September 30, 2016. Some of those revisions eliminated all reference to DC's being primary care physicians. The proposed revisions can be viewed at http://cce-usa.org/Call_for_Comments.html.  The version showing track changes best shows what is proposed for deletion and addition to the standards.

The satisfaction of attendees, speakers and vendors alike was evident as more than 4,500 came together to enjoy the give and take of the nation's largest chiropractic event.  Watch for video and photo highlights coming soon!  Here's the actual feedback from a sampling of the almost 3,000 attendees at last weekend's FCA National Convention when asked, "What did you enjoy best about this convention?"

The FCA has already reported on the recent action by the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine to pursue legislation authorizing the acceptance of some online CE's for chiropractic license renewal in Florida. Naysayers are still vilifying the BOCM for not making a change by board rule. Based upon the continued spread of misinformation as to the Board's ability to change existing Florida law and the FCA's position on online CE's, we are again clarifying.

In response to FCA advocacy, the Department of Financial Services, Division of Consumer Services, has made recent changes to their Insurance Complaint form to make it easier for you and your patients to file a complaint for any insurance claim denials, reductions, or delays. 

Dr. Ron Wellikoff, in conjunction with the FCA, Kaplan Seminars and SecureCare, will present "An Introduction to the AMA's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 6th Edition" and "An Introduction to the Conversation from ICD-9 to ICD-10 Relating to Impairment Rating" on May 21-22, 2016 at the Doubletree by Hilton, 5555 Hazeltine National Drive, Orlando.

Some individuals are only telling part of the story and are misrepresenting that the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine (BOCM) recently took a stand against allowing online courses for chiropractic license renewal continuing education (CE). In fact, that board acted in favor of allowing some online CEs. We asked Paul Lambert, FCA General Counsel, who represented the FCA at the most recent BOCM meeting, to provide the whole story and the reason why the licensing board doesn’t have authority to simply adopt a board rule allowing for online CEs. Read the facts.
