Hristian (Chris) Velkov, a massage therapist based in Burnaby, has faced disciplinary action from the College of Complementary Health Professionals of B.C. for multiple violations related to billing, record-keeping, and marketing practices. In a consent agreement published this week, Velkov admitted to engaging in billing practices that did not accurately reflect the claims submitted to insurers, as well as breaching the college's record-keeping bylaws. Additionally, he was found to have engaged in marketing activities that were deemed false, inaccurate, misleading, or unverifiable. The investigation into Velkov's conduct was initiated following a complaint received in May 2024. As part of the disciplinary measures, he has agreed to a formal reprimand, a fine of $250, and will undergo random audits of his practice and records for the next 12 months. Velkov is also required to meet with a practice advisor, review the college's bylaws, and complete an electronic medical records course within three months. Furthermore, he will pay $500 to help cover the costs of the investigation.
