Chiropractic physician certification

Effective Jan. 2, 2008, chiropractic physicians must certify to the director of the Department of Consumer & Business Services that they have reviewed and read certain informational material provided by the Workers' Compensation Division, before they treat any patients with Oregon workers' compensation claims.

If you have not certified to the director and treat a patient with an Oregon workers' compensation claim on or after Jan. 2, 2008, the insurer will not have to pay for the services you provided.

The required materials include:
