Implement Arbitration Successfully – Tips for Your Practice
Worried about how to introduce arbitration forms to patients?
In reality, patients are used to seeing arbitration agreements at hospitals and many clinics, so most will not bat an eye!
To implement successfully, make it part of your normal new-patient paperwork.
Have patients sign the arbitration agreement alongside other intake forms before treatment begins – just as a standard office policy.
If someone asks why, your staff can explain that it is something your malpractice insurer requires for keeping costs down (often true), and that it protects both the patient and doctor in the rare case of a dispute.
By handling it confidently and routinely, you will find implementation is smooth and patients sign without fuss, seeing it as the professional standard it has become.
The National Chiropractic Council (NCC) has been securing reliable and affordable malpractice insurance for chiropractors just like you since 1986.
Protect your practice and reassure your patients with NCC, starting now!
