Which item must be included in an SPS 7 participation agreement as a financial condition?

• A. Free therapy
• B. Salary reduction
• C. Random drug screening
• D. Jury duty exemption

Answer: (B)

A financial condition in an SPS 7 participation agreement is a monetary consequence that the professional must bear as part of disciplinary terms, reinforcing accountability and helping cover related costs. Reducing the licensee’s salary directly imposes a monetary impact, making it the option that fits a financial condition.

Free therapy is a treatment requirement, not a financial penalty. Random drug screening serves as monitoring to ensure ongoing sobriety, not a financial sanction. Jury duty exemption is a civil/legal accommodation, unrelated to imposing a financial penalty within the agreement. Thus, salary reduction best satisfies the role of a financial condition.
