Chiropractic Networks Questionnaire
by The American Chiropractic Association
2/17/2012 4:00:27 PM
The following notice is being sent to you to inform you of a critically important questionnaire that ACA is distributing to the entire profession. We have, as you know, been investigating the concerns of many who have contacted us about the practices of chiropractic networks for the past several years. However, a recent escalation in the quantity and severity of the complaints has caused us to seek to do our due diligence in capturing the voice of doctors on a state by state basis regarding network practices. Doing so will help us better advocate for the profession and with a questionnaire disseminated this broadly, we can assess nationally the effect of network practices upon the profession.
Your experiences matter. Help us represent as many Doctors of Chiropractic as possible by responding today.
Please complete the questionnaire by February 24th.
The questionnaire is located at: https://networks-aca.questionpro.com
If you have any questions, please direct them via email to insinfo@acatoday.org
