C-16, r. 5.1 - Code of ethics of chiropractors

Section 16 Disposition versions

2013-04-04

16. Chiropractors advertising a price, a rebate, a discount or free products or services must

(1)  establish fixed amounts, if applicable;

(2)  specify the nature and extent of the services included in the price, rebate, discount or free products or services;

(3)  indicate if additional services likely to be required are not included and, if such is the case, indicate their price;

(4)  give more importance to the services than to the price, rebate, discount or free products or services; and

(5)  keep the price, rebate, discount or free products or services in effect for a minimum period of 90 days after the advertisement was last broadcast or published.

Despite the foregoing, nothing prevents chiropractors from agreeing with a patient on a price lower than the one published or broadcast.
