What is the required amount of hours in history, billing, or technique for continuing education?

The requirement of four hours of continuing education in history, billing, or technique is grounded in California Chiropractic Law. This requirement is in place to ensure that practicing chiropractors stay up-to-date with the latest practices, regulations, and techniques that can enhance patient care and administrative efficiency. Continued education in these areas is critical for maintaining high standards within the profession, as it directly impacts the quality of services provided to patients.

When chiropractors engage in continuing education focused on history, billing, or technique, they not only refresh their existing knowledge but also learn any updates or changes in law, billing practices, or new techniques that may have emerged. This commitment to ongoing education ultimately contributes to better healthcare delivery and helps chiropractors comply with state regulations, which are designed to safeguard both the practitioners and their patients.
