Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Any statement
				  specifying a fee, whether standard, discounted or free, for professional
				  services which does not include the cost of all related procedures, services
				  and products which, to a substantial likelihood, will be necessary for the
				  completion of the advertised service as it would be understood by an ordinarily
				  prudent person shall be deemed to be deceptive or misleading, or both. Where
				  reasonable disclosure of all relevant variables and considerations is made, a
				  statement of a range of prices for specifically described services shall not be
				  deemed to be deceptive or misleading.
B. Advertising a discounted or free service,
				  examination, or treatment and charging for any additional service, examination,
				  or treatment that is performed as a result of and within 72 hours of the
				  initial office visit in response to such advertisement is unprofessional
				  conduct unless such professional services rendered are as a result of a
				  bonafide emergency. This provision may not be waived by agreement of the
				  patient and the practitioner.
C.
				  Advertisements of discounts shall disclose the full fee that has been
				  discounted. The practitioner shall maintain documented evidence to substantiate
				  the discounted fees and shall make such information available to a consumer
				  upon request.
D. A licensee shall
				  disclose the complete name of the specialty board that conferred the
				  certification when using or authorizing the use of the term "board certified"
				  or any similar words or phrase calculated to convey the same meaning in any
				  advertising for his practice.
E. A
				  licensee of the board shall not advertise information that is false,
				  misleading, or deceptive. For an advertisement for a single practitioner, it
				  shall be presumed that the practitioner is responsible and accountable for the
				  validity and truthfulness of its content. For an advertisement for a practice
				  in which there is more than one practitioner, the name of the practitioner or
				  practitioners responsible and accountable for the content of the advertisement
				  shall be documented and maintained by the practice for at least two
				  years.
