H 2512 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to truth in advertising

HD 3890 requires healthcare practitioners in Massachusetts to clearly disclose their specific license type and expiration date to patients. It mandates two specific disclosures: a visible photo ID name tag during all patient interactions and a clear office sign showing license details. This applies to all practitioners with direct patient care, including those working in multiple offices, but excludes non-patient care roles. Violations would be enforced under state consumer protection law (Chapter 93A), with medical doctors supervising others also required to post their office hours.
