## Overview

North Dakota healthcare marketing compliance operates primarily under federal rules - FDA and FTC - with the North Dakota Board of Medicine and the North Dakota Consumer Fraud Act providing state-level authority.


## North Dakota Board of Medicine

ND Board of Medicine enforces NDAC 50 advertising provisions covering deceptive advertising, specialty claims, supervision, and testimonial standards.


## State attorney general focus

ND AG uses Consumer Fraud Act authority. Healthcare-marketing-specific enforcement has been limited but the authority exists.


## Focus areas

- **Federal compliance is the primary layer**: FDA and FTC rules apply uniformly. Disease-claim, substantiation, and testimonial rules are the dominant compliance frame.
- **Telehealth advertising rules**: North Dakota telehealth rules apply to providers marketing to ND residents.
- **Medical specialty claim accuracy**: ND Board of Medicine enforces specialty-claim standards.


## Patterns that draw enforcement attention

- **Disease-treatment claims for non-FDA-approved products**: Federal FDA exposure regardless of state activity.
- **Outcome guarantees on medical services**: FTC substantiation rules and Board standards both apply.
- **Compounded GLP-1 brand-equivalence claims**: Federal FDA + ND Consumer Fraud Act authority.
- **Specialty misrepresentation**: Board specialty-claim enforcement.
- **Telehealth advertising without ND-licensure clarity**: ND telehealth rules apply to marketing to ND residents.


## Specialty notes

- All specialties - federal FDA/FTC rules are the primary exposure.

- Telehealth - cross-border marketing must meet ND standards.
- Aesthetic practice - federal substantiation rules apply.
