Advertising rules in Idaho

Idaho states its advertising rule as a discipline ground in one line — advertising the practice of medicine in any unethical or unprofessional manner — and pairs it with two grounds that reach the way a cosmetic practice sells. Willfully and intentionally representing that a manifestly incurable disease or injury or other manifestly incurable condition can be permanently cured is a ground; so is DIRECTLY PROMOTING THE SALE of drugs, devices, appliances or goods to a patient that are unnecessary and not medically indicated — which speaks to retail and device upsell inside a practice, not only to external marketing. Practicing medicine under a false or assumed name is a further ground.
