KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent").

The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-21, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-21, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law. Upon the expiration date, the Agent's authority under this instrument shall cease immediately, and the Agent shall have no further power to act on the Principal's behalf. Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon this instrument. Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice. Upon revocation, the Agent shall promptly return to the Principal all documents, records, property, and funds in the Agent's possession or control that belong to or relate to the affairs of the Principal.
This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto. The Principal consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [state_law] for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this instrument. If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is hereby authorized to act as the Principal's personal representative for the purposes of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Florida's patient privacy laws. This includes authority to access, transfer, and maintain patient intake forms, spinal adjustment logs, X-ray imaging, and treatment plans. The Agent must ensure all actions comply with the Florida Chiropractic Practice Act and the record-keeping standards established by the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine.
The Agent is granted the specific power to manage and resolve disputes related to insurance billing and patient reimbursement. This authority includes the power to challenge claim denials and settle payment discrepancies in accordance with Florida Statutes Chapter 542 regarding fair trade practices. All actions taken must be intended to mitigate malpractice liability and ensure the continuity of patient care without violating Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
The Agent shall have the authority to manage clinic staff and must strictly adhere to the Florida Minimum Wage Act (Fla. Stat. § 448.110) and the Florida Whistleblower’s Act (Fla. Stat. § 448.101 to § 448.105). This includes the power to execute payroll, manage employment contracts, and enforce non-compete agreements provided they meet the reasonableness standards set forth in Fla. Stat. § 542.335.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

As a Doctor of Chiropractic in Florida, your practice is built on specialized patient care and complex insurance billing. A Power of Attorney ensures that if you are unavailable, a trusted agent can handle Florida-specific compliance requirements, such as managing HIPAA-protected spinal records, resolving insurance reimbursement disputes, and maintaining the treatment plans that your patients rely on. Without this document, your practice faces significant liability risks under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and potential disruptions in care that could lead to malpractice claims.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Chiropractor:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Patient injury claims
Use detailed informed consent forms and patient waivers clarifying the treatment risks and procedures involved.
Malpractice liability
Yes, provided the document specifically grants authority to handle insurance adjustments and billing. In Florida, this is critical for navigating the Florida Minimum Wage Act (Fla. Stat. § 448.110) for your staff and resolving claims according to state insurance standards.
A well-drafted Power of Attorney for a chiropractor should include specific authorizations for the agent to access health information records. This must be balanced with the Florida Public Records Law if you handle public contracts, and always in compliance with federal HIPAA regulations.
Florida law requires a Power of Attorney to be signed by the principal and two witnesses, and it must be acknowledged before a notary public to be fully enforceable and recognized by financial institutions and the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine.
