Healthcare paid media is high-stakes: patient acquisition costs are high, ad platform restrictions are strict, and the regulatory environment (PHIPA in Ontario, HIPAA for US patients) requires careful campaign design. North American Media Experts Inc. runs compliant, performance-focused paid media for Canadian and US healthcare practices, from family medicine clinics to specialty surgical groups.

  • Programmatic CTV reaching households with health-condition-relevant content
  • Connected health audiences via consent-based first-party data activation

Compliance-first campaign design

We never store, transmit, or insert PHI (protected health information) into ad platforms. Our healthcare campaigns are built with server-side conversion tracking that hashes PII appropriately, landing page audits for accessibility (AODA / ADA compliance), creative review against PIPEDA, PHIPA, HIPAA requirements, proper disclaimers on all ad copy mentioning conditions or outcomes, and strict separation of advertising data and clinical data.

Healthcare paid media benchmarks

  • CPA range: $80–$400 per patient acquisition (highly varies by specialty)
  • Quality patient lifetime value (LTV): typically 5–15x the acquisition cost
  • Channel mix: 60–70% Google Ads (high intent), 20% paid social, 10–20% programmatic
