You cannot practice without your license. It’s as simple as that. That’s why CCPA created LicenseAssist to supplement our claims protection.
Call us as soon as you are aware of a complaint or have a question about risk management in your practice.
We’ll guide you should you require legal representation.
Up to $50,000 per incident with an aggregate of $50,000 per
LicenseAssist is intended to assist members who:
Are being investigated, requested or required to attend any hearing, meeting or proceeding by a “chiropractic licensing authority” to answer inquiries or complaints.
Are being investigated or charged with an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada in relation to an act or omission within the scope of the member's professional practice.
Are being investigated or charged with allegations in proceedings before a comparable quasi-judicial authority arising from events within the scope of the member's professional practice.
Many members contact CCPA when something has already gone
wrong. Don’t wait that long. Our Claims Officers are always
available to answer your questions and offer advice to help
you avoid the nastiest problems in practice.
You don’t have to be sure that you’re in a crisis to contact
CCPA. Give us a call at the first sign of trouble. We will
listen, offer our supportive guidance and advise you of the
best way to proceed.
The only time you shouldn’t call CCPA first is in a health care emergency. If a patient is in real distress your first and only obligation is to ensure that potentially life-saving care is administered. If you’re ever in doubt, send the patient to a hospital. Then contact CCPA as soon as you are able.
