Indiana Attorney General Licensing Enforcement; Medical Licensing Board and Physician Assistant Committee

Complaint instructions checked against the linked sources, with limitations and known conflicts. Confirm that the authority covers your concern.

Authority and scope

Check the professional and concern

The Medical Licensing Board lists physician and osteopathic physician licenses; the Indiana Physician Assistant Committee separately lists PA licenses. Complaints for all these credentials begin with the Attorney General’s Licensing Enforcement unit. Match the complaint to the practitioner’s license; nursing and facility issues may involve different regulators.

Submission

How the official source says to file

  • Choose LE Complaint on the Attorney General’s licensing page: online submission or a downloadable PDF that must be returned by postal mail.
  • Provide the respondent’s full name, license number, mailing address, and any known email and telephone information. The agency warns that missing identifying information may prevent investigation.
  • Supply relevant documents through the online form or mail them with the complaint as directed. Read the form’s declarations and any requested authorization before submitting; the downloadable form’s detailed requirements were not readable in this check.

Limits

What this route may not provide

Licensing Enforcement seeks action against a professional license. It cannot act as your private attorney, obtain damages for licensing violations, or file criminal charges. The licensing complaint should not be treated as a malpractice claim or a request for compensation.

Anonymity

Do not guess about confidentiality

Licensing Enforcement does not accept anonymous complaints. Its page directs people seeking anonymity to contact IPLA about filing on their behalf, while warning that missing identity information can restrict investigation. Investigative material is confidential, but filing does not give you access to everything collected. Do not infer that confidentiality prevents disclosure to the practitioner.

The Attorney General says investigation can take up to twelve months depending on the allegations. A filing deadline was not established by this check; ask promptly. This processing estimate is not a court deadline or a promise for every case.

Process
