S.332

Health Care Practitioner Transparency Act mandates clear, truthful advertising and representation by health care practitioners in North Carolina.

The Health Care Practitioner Transparency Act requires health care practitioners to clearly identify their licenses, certifications, or registrations in advertisements and representations. It prohibits deceptive or misleading information about their qualifications. The act applies to practitioners in multiple offices and excludes those in non-patient settings without direct patient interactions. The act mandates specific boards to adopt temporary rules for implementation, which remain in effect until permanent rules are established. Violations may result in disciplinary action.
