EFT EFT Business & Practice Development 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is a sliding scale fee structure in EFT practice?
- A fee system where charges increase automatically with each session
- Offering different fee rates based on clients' ability to pay, making services more accessible (Correct answer)
- Charging different rates based on which tapping protocol is used in a session
- A billing model where clients pay only after achieving their goals
Correct answer: Offering different fee rates based on clients' ability to pay, making services more accessible
Sliding scale fees allow practitioners to serve a broader range of clients by adjusting rates according to each client's financial situation.
Question 2: Why is it important for EFT practitioners to have a clear referral network in place?
- Referrals generate commission income for practitioners under US law
- To direct clients whose needs exceed the practitioner's scope to appropriate licensed professionals (Correct answer)
- Referrals are required by all EFT certification bodies before a practitioner can work independently
- To avoid working with complex clients entirely
Correct answer: To direct clients whose needs exceed the practitioner's scope to appropriate licensed professionals
A referral network ensures clients with clinical-level needs (e.g., severe mental illness, active suicidality) are connected with licensed professionals qualified to help them.
Question 3: What is the purpose of a client intake form in an EFT practice?
- To collect information needed for insurance reimbursement only
- To gather background information on the client's history, goals, and contraindications before the first session (Correct answer)
- To create a legally binding treatment contract between the client and practitioner
- To document which tapping sequences will be used in upcoming sessions
Correct answer: To gather background information on the client's history, goals, and contraindications before the first session
An intake form helps the practitioner understand the client's needs, screen for contraindications, and tailor the EFT approach appropriately.
Question 4: Which digital platform feature is most important for EFT practitioners offering online sessions?
- The ability to record all sessions automatically without client consent
- HIPAA-compliant video conferencing that protects client privacy and confidentiality (Correct answer)
- AI-powered transcription of all client disclosures
- Integration with social media for real-time session sharing
Correct answer: HIPAA-compliant video conferencing that protects client privacy and confidentiality
HIPAA-compliant platforms (such as Zoom for Healthcare or similar) protect client confidentiality when delivering EFT services online.
Question 5: When creating testimonials or case studies for marketing EFT services, what ethical guideline must practitioners follow?
- Testimonials may be fabricated if they represent typical client outcomes
- Client testimonials require written consent and must not include identifying information without explicit client permission (Correct answer)
- Case studies must be submitted to an ethics board before publication
- Practitioners should only use testimonials from clients who completed a minimum of 10 sessions
Correct answer: Client testimonials require written consent and must not include identifying information without explicit client permission
Using client testimonials without written consent violates confidentiality, and identifying information must be protected to uphold professional ethics.
Question 6: What does 'scope of practice' mean for a certified EFT practitioner without a clinical license?
- The geographic area in which the practitioner is allowed to work
- The boundaries of what the practitioner is trained and legally authorized to do, excluding clinical diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders (Correct answer)
- The maximum number of clients a practitioner may see per week under certification rules
- The specific EFT protocols the practitioner is certified to use
Correct answer: The boundaries of what the practitioner is trained and legally authorized to do, excluding clinical diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders
Scope of practice defines what a non-licensed EFT practitioner can ethically offer — coaching, stress reduction, and personal development — not clinical diagnosis or treatment.
