An Act relative to health care transparency
This bill restricts the use of medical titles like "physician," "doctor," or specialty terms (e.g., "cardiologist," "neurologist") unless the person is registered as a physician with the Board of Registration in Medicine. It directly affects non-physician health care providers (e.g., nurse practitioners, physical therapists) who might otherwise imply medical practice through their titles. Key provisions require practitioners to clearly display their specific license type via visible ID tags (with photo, name, license type, and expiration) during patient visits and in office displays, and to avoid misleading advertising about their qualifications. Exceptions include licensed chiropractors, podiatrists, and physician assistants, and the law does not apply to non-patient care settings.
