4. 4The Indiana regulator failed to send an upcoming license-expiration notice to a chiropractor. After the regulator's notice is actually received, what is the latest renewal period that protects the licensee from a failure-to-renew sanction under this exception?

   1. A. Within 30 days after receiving the notice
   2. B. Within 45 days after receiving the notice
   3. C. Within 60 days after receiving the notice
   4. D. Within 90 days after receiving the notice

   Answer: B

Thirty days is earlier but not the outer limit; 60 and 90 exceed it.

5. 5An Indiana chiropractor refers a covered patient to a specifically named outside provider but has not confirmed that provider's network status. What notice must the chiropractor give for this nonexempt referral?

   1. A. An electronic or paper written notice about possible out-of-network care and plan contact
   2. B. A telephone-only message about possible out-of-network care and plan contact
   3. C. An electronic or paper written notice only to the patient's health plan
   4. D. A billing statement sent after care that lists possible out-of-network charges

   Answer: A

   Explanation: "A provider that makes a referral shall provide to the covered individual an electronic" Because network status has not been confirmed, the exemption does not apply. The referring provider gives the covered individual an electronic or paper written notice addressing possible out-of-network services, payment differences and the option to contact the plan. A telephone-only message is a separate telephone-referral route, and notice to the plan or post-care billing does not meet this rule.

6. 6An Indiana chiropractor's valid license expires while the practitioner is on out-of-state active duty; the practitioner had no pre-service expiration notice and meets the other statutory conditions. What is the standard post-discharge extension for renewal and continuing education?

   1. A. Ninety days after discharge or release from active duty
   2. B. One hundred eighty days after discharge or release from active duty
   3. C. Two hundred seventy days after discharge or release from active duty
   4. D. Three hundred sixty-five days after discharge or release from active duty

   Answer: B

   Explanation: "one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the practitioner's discharge or release from active duty." The standard extension is 180 days after discharge or release. A longer period up to 365 days requires the separate service-related illness, injury or disability finding; it is not the standard extension.

10. 10A chiropractic applicant has a conviction of concern and presents evidence of rehabilitation. Which review approach is required before the board decides whether the conviction disqualifies the applicant?

    1. A. Consider offense seriousness, elapsed time, job relation, and rehabilitation evidence
    2. B. Consider offense seriousness, exam score, insurance claims, and education record
    3. C. Consider elapsed time, school rank, insurance claims, and application fee
    4. D. Consider job relation, transcript grades, exam score, and referral history

    Answer: A

    Explanation: "An applicant for licensure who has a conviction of concern may still be granted a license" The chiropractic rule allows licensure despite a conviction of concern based on IC 25-1-1.1-6(h). That subsection directs consideration of the offense's seriousness, elapsed time, occupational relationship and rehabilitation. The other lists substitute ordinary application or business facts for statutory conviction-review factors. "Evidence of rehabilitation or treatment undertaken by the individual that might" confirms rehabilitation is among those factors. "shall consider the following in determining whether to deny a license or certification to the" introduces the statutory factor list.
