Which action could lead to disciplinary action against a chiropractor?

Offering a discount to new patients
Not stating the customary fee for a free service
Consulting with other healthcare providers
Providing educational resources to patients

The correct answer is: Not stating the customary fee for a free service

Not stating the customary fee for a free service can lead to disciplinary action against a chiropractor because transparency in pricing and advertising standards is crucial in healthcare practices. When a chiropractor offers a free service, they are expected to clearly communicate any conditions or limitations associated with that offer, including what the customary fees would be for those services if they were not free. This ensures that patients are fully informed and allows them to make educated decisions regarding their healthcare options. Failure to disclose this information could be perceived as misleading and unethical, potentially resulting in disciplinary measures from regulatory bodies overseeing chiropractic practices. In contrast, offering discounts to new patients, consulting with other healthcare providers, and providing educational resources to patients are common practices that do not typically lead to disciplinary action when performed within legal and ethical guidelines. These actions are often aimed at enhancing patient care and fostering professional collaboration, which are encouraged in the chiropractic profession.
