From educating the public, to conducting complex investigations and issuing cease and desist orders, the Department’s Unlicensed
Activity (ULA) program is dedicated to protecting the people of Florida, and remaining at the forefront of health care regulation. Working in
Tallahassee and 11 field offices throughout the state, the ULA program investigates all unlicensed health care activity complaints and has
long-standing partnerships with law enforcement and state attorney offices to prosecute individuals practicing without a license. This fiscal
year saw a 35 percent increase in complaints received and a nearly 75 percent increase in investigations referred to law enforcement for
further prosecution, indicating a trend of continuous quality improvement in the enforcement of ULA cases.
