The State Legal Guide to Complementary and Alternative Medicine

With complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers broadening their national lobbying efforts and gaining ground in many legislative districts, guidelines for the industry could be changing for years to come, which makes The State Guide to CAM Specialties a must-have for those involved in the industry. An annual, definitive guide to the legal compliance issues relevant to fourteen license levels of CAM practitioners, this publication will assist insurance providers in determining which CAM and nursing services to offer (or stop offering) their patients and which practitioners to recruit to best provide those services. State-by-state breakdowns of specific practice guidelines clearly outline what services practitioners can and cannot legally deliver to their patients. Physicians interested in integrating CAM treatment into an already established practice - either by practicing the services themselves or hiring a CAM provider - also will benefit from the material in this well-organized volume.
