Treatment Plan. (A) The physician may offer the patient complementary or alternative treatment pursuant to a documented treatment plan tailored for the individual needs of the patient by which treatment progress or success can be evaluated with stated objectives such as pain relief and/or improved physical and/or psychosocial function. Such a documented treatment plan shall consider pertinent medical history, previous medical records and physical examination, as well as the need for further testing, consultations, referrals, or the use of other treatment modalities. (B) The treatment offered should: (i) have a favorable risk/benefit ratio compared to other treatments for the same condition; (ii) be based upon a reasonable expectation that it will result in a favorable patient outcome, including preventive practices; and (iii) be based upon the expectation that a greater benefit for the same condition will be achieved than what can be expected with no treatment.
