(1) Within fifteen days of the board’s order, disclose in writing the details of the board’s action to any employer, and to any entity which contracts with the chiropractic physician to provide chiropractic and/or acupuncture services. For any and all written notices required pursuant to this rule, the chiropractic physician shall transmit the notice via a method which provides written confirmation of delivery. This evidence shall be kept by the chiropractic physician for two years.
(2) Comply with any restrictions, conditions, or limitations placed on his or her chiropractic license and/or acupuncture certificate by the board’s order.
(B) In addition to the preceding, a chiropractic physician who has had his or her chiropractic license and/or acupuncture certificate suspended or revoked, during the time period specified in the board’s order shall:
(1) Not display his or her license to practice chiropractic and/or certificate to practice acupuncture or current year’s renewal card(s);
(2) Not occupy, share or use office space in which another licensee practices chiropractic and/or acupuncture;
(3) Desist and refrain from the practice of chiropractic and/or the practice of acupuncture in any form either as a principal or employee or agent of another and shall not furnish chiropractic and/or acupuncture services. However, the affected chiropractic physician may respond to inquiries from patients, third party payors and/or health care practitioners regarding his or her prior examination and/or treatment of a patient and may provide reports regarding his or her previous examination and/or treatment of a patient;
(4) Not advertise, announce or otherwise hold him or herself forth as a chiropractic physician and/or the holder of an acupuncture certificate issued under Chapter 4734. of the Revised Code or someone who may legally practice chiropractic and/or acupuncture;
(5) Advise the board of any changes in employment or residence addresses or telephone numbers within fifteen days of any such change;
(6) If the board’s action includes revocation or active suspension for thirty days or greater, promptly notify in writing all patients who have been under such chiropractic physician’s care within the preceding six months of his or her inability to provide further chiropractic and/or acupuncture services. The chiropractic physician shall notify the patients in the writing as to the location of their files and what arrangements have been made to permit them to access their files, as well as a method for them to seek chiropractic care elsewhere. For suspensions of shorter duration, the chiropractic physician shall take reasonable measures to ensure his or her patients have continuity of care and access to their records.
(7) Not share in any fee for chiropractic and/or acupuncture services performed by any other chiropractic physician during the revocation or suspension. This provision will not prohibit the chiropractic physician from collecting accounts receivable for services rendered previously or from collecting rental payments or payments for equipment leases;
(8) If revoked or actively suspended for six months or greater, within thirty days of the effective date of the action deliver to the board the original chiropractic license and/or acupuncture certificate and current year’s renewal card(s);

(10) Within thirty days after the effective date of the chiropractic physician’s revocation, file with the board a detailed sworn affidavit specifying how such person has fully complied with this rule;
(11) For those suspended, complete the mandatory continuing education required to renew a chiropractic license and/or acupuncture certificate, plus any additional hours ordered by the board;
(12) If revoked or suspended actively for more than one year, the chiropractic physician may be required to take an examination prior to reinstatement of his or her license to good standing.
