Bill > H4812

This bill aims to improve health care transparency in Massachusetts. It prohibits the use of certain medical titles and terms, such as "physician" or "doctor," by individuals who are not licensed as such by the Board of Registration in Medicine. The bill also requires health care practitioners to clearly identify their specific type of license and display it in their offices and during patient encounters. Additionally, medical doctors or doctors of osteopathic medicine who supervise or collaborate with non-medical practitioners must post their regular office hours. The bill also specifies that violations of these provisions will constitute a violation of the state's consumer protection laws.
