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.

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.

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.

The Agent is hereby granted specific authority to make decisions concerning patient care administration, including but not limited to, managing treatment plans, overseeing patient intake forms, addressing informed consent gaps, and handling patient scheduling. Furthermore, the Agent is authorized to access, manage, and disclose Protected Health Information (PHI) in strict compliance with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as regulated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights, and all applicable Maryland state laws governing patient privacy. This authority is granted to ensure continuity of care and regulatory adherence in the Principal's absence.

The Agent is empowered to take all necessary actions to ensure the Principal's chiropractic practice remains in full compliance with the Maryland Chiropractic Practice Act, as overseen by the State Chiropractic Board, including matters related to the scope of practice, licensure, and continuing education. The Agent shall also oversee adherence to Maryland labor and employment laws, specifically the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law (Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-501 et seq.) regarding wage payments and deductions, and ensuring that any non-compete agreements with employees comply with Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-716, which limits such agreements for low-wage workers.
The Agent is authorized and directed to maintain detailed patient records, treatment logs, and financial accounts, recognizing their importance for malpractice mitigation and compliance with regulatory bodies. The Agent shall also prepare and submit any necessary reports to the Maryland State Chiropractic Board or other regulatory agencies, ensuring the practice meets all mandated reporting requirements and standards, including those related to the proper documentation of adjustments, subluxations, and treatment outcomes specified in a patient's treatment plan.

As a chiropractor in Maryland, unexpected events can disrupt your practice. A Power of Attorney ensures uninterrupted management of your clinic, patient care decisions, and financial affairs, safeguarding your livelihood and patient well-being against unforeseen circumstances.
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.
A Power of Attorney allows you to designate an agent to manage critical aspects of your Maryland chiropractic practice, like patient intake, treatment plan oversight, billing disputes, and compliance with the state's Chiropractic Practice Act, even if you're suddenly incapacitated. This prevents operational disruption and protects your reputation and financial stability.
Yes. When drafting your Power of Attorney, you can grant your agent specific authority to access and manage Protected Health Information (PHI) in compliance with HIPAA regulations, ensuring patient records are handled securely even in your absence. This is vital for maintaining privacy and avoiding penalties.
Beyond general powers, consider explicitly granting authority for managing insurance billing disputes and patient injury claims, which are common liabilities for chiropractors. Ensure the document adheres to Maryland's unique requirements for execution, including notarization and witness requirements, to guarantee its enforceability under Maryland law.
By designating a trusted agent, you can empower them to oversee and ensure that all new and ongoing patient treatments adhere to your practice's informed consent protocols, utilize standardized forms, and maintain thorough documentation, thereby mitigating risks associated with inadequate consent even when you are unavailable.
