What is the Client Bill of Rights Requirement?
The last section of the new law requires each practitioner to provide each client with a client bill of rights prior to service. (Minn. Stat. Sec. 146A.11) A client bill of rights must also be posted in a prominent location in the office. The purpose of the client bill of rights is to give all clients access to relevant information about the complementary and/or alternative service they will receive, and information about how to file a complaint if they are dissatisfied. There is specific statutory language which must be copied identically from the statute. This language is in quotations. Also, each client must sign a statement showing that s/he received the bill of rights.
