CMA Comments on Proposed Chiropractic Board Language CMA sent comments to the Board of Chiropractic Examiners in March regarding its proposed amendments to state regulations. CMA is concerned that the board's proposed regulations will have the unintended consequences of ensuring that only those with chiropractic licenses will be able to practice chiropractic-which would be defined to include diet, exercise and physical therapy techniques. In 1371 Case CMA filed a reply brief in March in its appeal of a case against the state's eight largest for-profit health plans. In its brief, CMA reiterates its assertion that plans are licensed to take risk, not to pass it on to physicians. CMA expects the Court of Appeals to hear oral arguments about the case in the next few months.

Malpractice Defense Seminar Physicians who are defendants in medical malpractice actions need to be aware of the factors that can influence the way attorneys defend them. For instance, because many attorneys defend their clients under flat-billing arrangements with the professional liability carrier, there may be limitations on the extent of, and approach to, their defense strategies. Similarly, attorneys may take into account which of the allegations against the physician are covered by the insurance carrier. This seminar is presented by CMA in cooperation with the Association of Defense Counsel of Northern California and Nevada.
