§ 4979 Acupuncture Corporation Regulations

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can make rules to ensure acupuncture corporations follow the law.
  • •If someone who owns part of the corporation can't be an owner anymore (like if they die or get disqualified), their part must be sold back to the corporation or other owners.
  • •Acupuncture corporations must have insurance or some other way to pay if a patient sues them for mistakes in their work.

Example

An acupuncturist who owns part of a clinic passes away.

The clinic must buy back the deceased owner's share from their family within a set time, as per the rules. Also, if a patient gets hurt during treatment and sues, the clinic must have insurance to cover the costs.
