Federal advertising rules
FTC
For every approved piece, you keep a timestamped entry showing what was reviewed, what was checked, and when your physician signed off. If a question is ever raised about something you published, you have a documented answer rather than a memory.
Some states also require practices to keep copies of their advertising for a set period. Where that applies, the record isn’t just useful — it’s part of meeting the requirement.
A note on what this is. Our compliance workflow draws on FTC guidance, HIPAA marketing rules, and state medical board advertising requirements, and is designed to be reviewed alongside your own counsel. It supports your physician’s judgment; it does not replace it, and it is not legal advice. Your physician is always the final approver of published content.
