CalChiro Sues One Call Medical, Inc.
The California Chiropractic Association (CalChiro) filed suit in San Francisco Superior Court, alleging among other complaints, One Call Medical, Inc. d/b/a One Call Care Management (OCM) and its subsidiary, Align Networks (Align) have violated California’s unfair competition law (UCL) as broadly defined in Business and Professions Code Section 17200 (Case No. CGC-18-569362).
AB 888
Last year, CalChiro partnered with Assembly Member Evan Low, Chair of the Assembly Business & Professions Committee, to address the ongoing opioid epidemic facing our state and nation. We introduced AB 888 (Low), to require prescribers to discuss the risks associated with opioids with their patients prior to issuing a first prescription, obtain a written and verbal consent, and require disclosure on the availability of non-pharmacological treatments for pain, such as chiropractic services, along with an offer of a referral to such treatments.
