OAR 411-090-0140: Advertising of a Ventilator Assisted Program

(1) An applicant may not advertise as an endorsed Ventilator Assisted Program facility until the applicant has obtained an endorsement from the Department. A prospective Ventilator Assisted Program facility may advertise as such if they have submitted an endorsement application to the Department. (2) A facility with a valid endorsement may advertise it has an endorsement. However, the advertising materials may not imply or state the Department recommends or supports a specific facility. (3) All advertising material must be truthful and may not include or use coercive or misleading information about the endorsement of the facility. (4) Upon the determination that a non-endorsed facility implies or advertises they have an endorsement, the Department shall send a notice to the licensee to cease the advertising immediately. Failure to comply may result in a civil penalty as outlined in OAR 411-089-0030.
