## Overview

Michigan healthcare marketing compliance operates under the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) - specifically the Michigan Board of Medicine and Board of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery - and the Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCPA). Michigan is a significant med spa and weight-loss market with corresponding enforcement attention.


## Michigan Board of Medicine (via LARA)

Michigan physician advertising is governed by Public Health Code provisions and LARA rules covering deceptive advertising, specialty claims, supervision representations, and testimonial rules. Enforcement has focused on aesthetic and weight-loss practice marketing.


## State attorney general focus

Michigan MCPA provides AG consumer-protection authority and permits private action. Healthcare marketing enforcement has included compounded medication marketing, weight-loss advertising, and aesthetic practice pricing.


## Focus areas

- **Aesthetic practice supervision**: Michigan LARA rules on supervision in aesthetic practice are actively enforced.
- **Telehealth advertising**: Michigan has specific telehealth rules that affect marketing by out-of-state providers to Michigan residents.
- **Compounded medication marketing**: MI AG has been active on compounded-GLP-1 marketing enforcement.
- **MCPA class actions**: MCPA permits private class actions, creating exposure beyond AG enforcement.


## Patterns that draw enforcement attention

- **Nurse injector independence language**: LARA supervision enforcement.
- **Telehealth marketing to MI residents without licensure clarity**: Michigan telehealth rules apply to marketing.
- **Compounded GLP-1 equivalence claims**: MI AG MCPA activity.
- **Package pricing advertising**: MCPA disclosure standards.
- **Guarantee language**: LARA and MCPA both apply.
