A Victoria chiropractor has agreed to a five-day suspension after admitting in an agreement with her professional college that she had submitted false insurance claims.

Dr. Jennifer McNeill entered a consent agreement with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of B.C. on Feb. 23, and a summary of the document was published on the college’s website this week.

According to the agreement, the college received a complaint about McNeill from a member of the public on May 20, 2025.

The document does not say how many false insurance claims McNeill submitted, nor what procedures they pertained to, nor how much money was claimed.

The college’s inquiry committee resolved its investigation by proposing the consent agreement, which requires McNeill to receive a formal reprimand from the college and undertake not to repeat her misconduct.

She must also serve a five-day suspension of her registration, complete a learning course on professional ethics, co-operate with random audits of her billing and clinical records practices for one year and cover a portion of the costs of the investigation.

The amount McNeill agreed to pay is not specified in the document.

She also agreed to “undertake a meeting with a College Practice Advisor (CPA) to discuss the conduct issues outlined in the agreement,” and to attend additional meetings with the CPA as that individual sees fit.

“The inquiry committee is satisfied that this resolution is consistent with the college’s mandate to serve and protect the public,” the document concludes.
