The Florida Department of Health (FDOH) investigates complaints and reports involving health care practitioners regulated by the department and enforces appropriate Florida Statutes. Action which may be taken against health care practitioners is administrative in nature (e.g., reprimand, fine, restriction of practice, remedial education, administrative cost, probation, license suspension or license revocation). The department cannot represent you in civil matters to recover fees paid or seek remedies for injuries. You may wish to consult a private attorney regarding these matters. The Unlicensed Activity (ULA) Program protects Florida residents and visitors from potentially serious and dangerous consequences of receiving medical and health care services from an unlicensed person. They investigate and refer for prosecution all unlicensed health care activity complaints and allegations. The ULA unit works in conjunction with law enforcement agencies and the state attorney’s office to prosecute individuals practicing without a license. In many instances, unlicensed activity is a felony level criminal offense. Most importantly, receiving health care from unlicensed people is dangerous and could result in further injury, disease or even death.
