Bill Summary
Relative to truth in advertising by certain health care practitioners. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote truth in advertising for certain health care practitioners in the Commonwealth. It requires that advertisements for health care services that name a practitioner must identify the type of license held by that practitioner and be free from any deceptive or misleading information. The bill also mandates that health care practitioners must conspicuously display their specific licensure information, including wearing a photo identification name tag and posting a written notice in their office. Additionally, medical doctors or doctors of osteopathic medicine who supervise or collaborate with non-medical practitioners must post the regular hours they will be present in each office. The bill exempts health care practitioners working in non-patient care settings without direct patient interactions.
