In all cases where they are called upon to testify in disciplinary proceedings, chiropodists are, insofar as is compatible with respect for professional secrecy, required to disclose all facts of use to the investigation that come to their knowledge.
The chiropodist may see all patients in his or her practice, even in non-emergency situations, regardless of who their treating chiropodist is. If patients make known their intention to change chiropodists, the latter must provide them with the information necessary to ensure continuity and quality of care.
When a patient calls upon the services of another chiropodist in the absence of the patient’s own chiropodist, the latter may provide the necessary care during the patient’s absence. He must give his colleague, as soon as he returns, and in agreement with the patient, all the information he considers useful.
Consultations between the treating chiropodist and a healthcare professional or another chiropodist are subject to separate fees.
Fees may not be shared between chiropodists and other healthcare professionals. Each practitioner must charge his own personal fees. The distribution of dividends between the members of a partnership does not constitute prohibited fee-splitting. Retrocessions of fees provided for in practice contracts are not considered to be fee sharing.
In their professional relations with other health professionals, chiropodists must respect the independence of those professionals.
The chiropodist shall indicate on his prescription forms and on his other professional documents: 1° His surname, forenames and professional postal and electronic address, telephone number and identification number in the shared directory of professionals working in the healthcare system ; 2° His training qualification or authorisation allowing him to practise his profession; 3° Their status with regard to health insurance organisations; 4° His membership of an approved association as…

The chiropodist may display on the professional plaque affixed to his or her place of practice his or her surname, first names, telephone number, days and hours of consultation, his or her status with regard to the health insurance bodies and his or her training qualification or authorisation allowing him or her to practise the profession. He may also mention his qualifications, diplomas and functions recognised by the Conseil national…
When a chiropodist sets up practice or changes his or her practice, he or she may publish advertisements in any medium, taking into account the recommendations issued by the Conseil national de l’ordre.
