Section 1: Licensure & Renewal Requirements (10 Questions)
Q1: Under Florida law, a chiropractic license must be renewed biennially by what date?
A. December 31 of the renewal year
B. March 31 of the renewal year
C. June 30 of the renewal year
D. September 30 of the renewal year
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Per Section 460.413(1), Florida Statutes, all chiropractic licenses expire on
March 31 of each biennial renewal year. The 2026 renewal deadline is March 31, 2026.
Licensees must complete all continuing education requirements and submit renewal
applications before this date to avoid late fees or license delinquency. Option A
represents the deadline for many other Florida healthcare professions but not
chiropractic. Options C and D have no statutory basis for chiropractic licensure.
Q2: How many total continuing education hours are required for biennial license renewal
in Florida, and what is the specific breakdown of mandatory subject areas?
,A. 20 hours total, including 1 hour Laws/Rules and 1 hour Medical Errors
B. 40 hours total, including 2 hours Laws/Rules, 2 hours Medical Errors, 1 hour Risk
Management, 6 hours Record Keeping/Documentation, and 2 hours Ethics/Professional
Boundaries
C. 50 hours total, including 5 hours in each mandatory category
D. 30 hours total, with all hours being elective except 2 hours Laws/Rules
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Per Rule 64B2-13.001, Florida Administrative Code, and Section 456.013(7),
F.S., chiropractors must complete 40 hours of CE biennially. The mandatory distribution
effective for the 2026-2027 biennium includes: 2 hours Florida Laws and Rules (per s.
456.013(7)(a)), 2 hours Medical Errors (per s. 456.013(7)(b)), 1 hour Risk Management
(per s. 456.013(7)(c)), 6 hours Record Keeping/Documentation (per Rule
64B2-13.001(2)(d)), and 2 hours Ethics and Professional Boundaries (per Rule
64B2-13.001(2)(e)). The remaining 27 hours are elective. Options A, C, and D understate
the total hours or misstate mandatory requirements.
Q3: A chiropractor licensed in Florida wishes to practice using telehealth services for
patients located in Georgia. What is the legal requirement?
A. The chiropractor may practice telehealth in any state with an active Florida license
B. The chiropractor must obtain a Georgia chiropractic license or qualify for Georgia's
telehealth registry
C. Florida law permits interstate telehealth without additional licensure under the
Interstate Medical Licensure Compact
,D. The chiropractor may practice telehealth in Georgia provided they maintain
malpractice insurance in Florida
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Per Section 460.404(3), F.S., a Florida chiropractic license only authorizes
practice within Florida's geographical boundaries. Telehealth services delivered to
patients in other states constitute the practice of chiropractic in that jurisdiction. Florida
is not a member of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact for chiropractic (Option C
is incorrect). Option A violates the territorial limitation of licensure. Option D incorrectly
suggests malpractice insurance satisfies licensure requirements. The chiropractor must
either obtain a Georgia license or comply with Georgia's specific telehealth regulations.
Q4: What is the minimum financial responsibility requirement for Florida chiropractic
physicians regarding professional liability coverage?
A. $100,000 per occurrence / $300,000 aggregate
B. $250,000 per occurrence / $500,000 aggregate
C. $500,000 per occurrence / $1,000,000 aggregate
D. Florida law does not mandate specific minimum coverage amounts, only that the
physician demonstrates financial responsibility
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Per Section 456.048(1), F.S., and Rule 64B2-17.001, F.A.C., Florida requires
chiropractic physicians to demonstrate financial responsibility for malpractice claims
but does not prescribe specific minimum coverage amounts. Acceptable methods
include: professional liability insurance, an escrow account, letter of credit, or corporate
, guarantee. Options A, B, and C state common insurance policy limits but these are not
statutory minimums. Many practitioners carry higher limits ($1M/$3M) based on
personal risk assessment, but the law only requires proof of ability to pay claims.
Q5: Which of the following constitutes grounds for denial of a chiropractic license
application under Florida's "2+2" education requirement?
A. Graduation from a chiropractic college accredited by the Council on Chiropractic
Education (CCE)
B. Completion of 90 semester hours of pre-chiropractic education at an accredited
institution plus 4 academic years at an accredited chiropractic college
C. Possession of a chiropractic license in good standing from another state for 10 years
D. Completion of a 3-year accelerated chiropractic program at a foreign institution not
accredited by CCE
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Per Section 460.404(1)(a)-(b), F.S., applicants must complete: (a) at least 90
semester hours of pre-professional education at an accredited college/university, AND
(b) 4 academic years (minimum 4,000 hours) at a chiropractic college accredited by the
Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) or its successor. Option D describes an
unaccredited, abbreviated program that fails both requirements. Option A alone is
insufficient without the pre-chiropractic education. Option B correctly states the
requirements. Option C describes reciprocity eligibility but does not satisfy the
educational prerequisites for initial licensure.
