MQA Quarterly Performance Report

Performing regulated health care activities without proper licensing in Florida is a crime. Treatment by an unlicensed person is dangerous and could result in injury, disease, or even death. When practitioners pay their licensing fees, $5 is designated specifically for the enforcement of health care regulations to reduce and prevent unlicensed activity. From educating the public to conducting complex investigations and issuing cease and desist orders, the ULA program protects the people of Florida and remains at the forefront of health care regulation. Halt Unlicensed Activity Consumers are encouraged to verify the license of their health care provider by utilizing the www.FLHealth- Source.gov/ula website, or calling 1-877-HALT-ULA, to speak directly with an investigator in the Consumer Services Unit. Tips of suspicious or potential unlicensed activity may be emailed to HALTULA@FLHealth.gov.
