Q:  May a chiropractor refer patients for acupuncture?

A:  No. Section 4762.10(A) of the Revised Code explicitly states an acupuncturist "shall perform acupuncture for a patient only if the patient has received a physician's written referral or prescription for acupuncture."  Further, Ohio law makes clear in 4762.01(C) of the Revised Code that "physician" in this context means an MD, DO or DPM licensed by the Medical Board, not a Doctor of Chiropractic.
