This Rule is promulgated pursuant to sections 12-20-204 and 12-215-105(1)(a), C.R.S.
A. Upon suspension of license, the licensee shall immediately stop the practice of chiropractic and shall tender his/her license to practice chiropractic to the Board within twenty-four hours from the effective date of the suspension. The licensee shall notify all patients that the licensee has ceased the practice of chiropractic and must allow patients to make arrangements for the transfer of patient records. The licensee shall make the patient records or copies of the patient records available to a practitioner designated by the patient, or if the licensee's practice is sold, to the chiropractor who purchases the practice. Written notice of the termination of practice must be made to all patients of the practice to the patient's last known address, or by legal notice by publication.
B. Upon revocation and relinquishment of license, the licensee shall immediately stop the practice of chiropractic and shall tender his/her license to practice chiropractic to the Board within twenty-four hours from the effective date of revocation or relinquishment. The licensee shall notify all patients within thirty calendar days that the licensee has ceased the practice of chiropractic and that the patient must make arrangements for the transfer of patient records. The licensee shall make the patient records or copies of the patient records available to the patient, to a practitioner designated by the patient, or if the licensee's practice is sold, to the chiropractor who purchases the practice. The transfer of patient records must be completed within sixty days. These terms may be set forth in the revocation or relinquishment order. Written notice of the termination of practice must be made to all patients of the practice to the patient's last known address, or by legal notice by publication.
C. The practitioner who is suspended, relinquished, or revoked cannot be on the premises of the office to observe, monitor, or participate in any way in care given. A practitioner may derive no income from the practice either directly or indirectly during the period of suspension, except for treatment provided before the beginning of the suspension.
D. Any request to deviate from this Rule must be set forth in writing to the Board. The board may review the request and may, upon good cause shown, issue an amended termination order. The decision to amend the terms for the termination of practice is final with the Board. A failure to comply with the provisions of the termination order may be grounds for disciplinary action for violation of a Board Order.
E. For any termination of practice for reasons other than suspension, relinquishment, or revocation, the licensee or his designee shall notify all patients within sixty calendar days that the licensee has ceased the practice of chiropractic and that the patient may make arrangements for the transfer of patient records. The licensee or his designee shall make the patient records or copies of the patient records available to the patient, to a practitioner designated by the patient, or if the licensee's practice is sold, to the chiropractor who purchases the practice. The transfer of patient records must be completed within sixty days. Written notice of the termination of practice must be made to all patients of the practice to the patient's last known mailing address, last known e-mail address, or legal notice by publication.
