Chiropractor Jay F. Park asks board for early end to probation after billing-related felony conviction
Summary
Dr. Jay Frodo Park, licensed since 1999, told the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners he has completed most probation conditions and asked for early termination of a five-year probation imposed after a conviction related to a patient-referral rebate scheme; the board took the matter under submission and will issue a written order.
Dr. Jay Frodo Park appeared April 18 before the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners to request early termination of a five-year probation ordered after his 2021 conviction for involvement in a patient-referral rebate scheme.
Park told the board he has complied with the board's conditions, including completing required coursework, volunteer hours and examinations. Deputy Attorney General Leslie Brass summarized the board's file: Park admitted the charges, entered into a stipulated settlement placing him on probation effective March 26, 2022, and the packet submitted to the board shows quarterly reports and a certification that his license is current and renewed through April 30, 2026.
Brass told the board Park had paid $3,407.50 in cost recovery, passed professional examinations including the ethics and boundaries essay and the California chiropractic law exam, and completed volunteer work and continuing education. Park told the board he has completed required billing-monitoring and volunteer service and that a court reduced his felony to a misdemeanor on May 3, 2024.
Board members asked Park about therapy and supports, the remaining probation conditions, and whether he planned to rejoin insurance networks so he could treat patients with Medicare. Park said he had not been in counseling but described family, friends and fellow chiropractors as his support network. He said his billing monitor helped him reorganize practice procedures and that he planned to seek network participation mainly so he could treat elderly patients who otherwise must pay out of pocket.
The board did not rule at the hearing. Administrative Law Judge Karen Reichman closed the hearing and the board took the petition under submission; Brass said the board would issue a written order in a few weeks.
