SB 1589 clarifies definitions and adds specific rules for chiropractors in Arizona, directly affecting licensed chiropractors and their practices. It prohibits unprofessional conduct like failing to disclose financial interests in referrals, making false statements to patients or insurers, and maintaining incomplete patient records. The bill requires chiropractors to keep detailed records for six years, provide records to patients or other providers within 10 business days, and accurately represent their certifications. These changes aim to improve transparency, accountability, and patient safety in chiropractic care.
