How To File a Complaint of Unlicensed Activity

The division’s Enforcement Unit analyzes complaints and reports involving suspected unlicensed health care practice and initiates investigations when appropriate. Effective complaints must include, verifiable information and as many specific details as possible. Anonymous complaints will be reviewed; however, they may be difficult to pursue unless they include evidence of the allegations made.
