Authority and scope
Check the professional and concern
MSBML's complaint instructions expressly cover M.D. physicians, D.O. physicians and physician assistants. The June 2026 form also lists other Board-regulated professions. Nurse practitioners and health care facilities use other agencies; verify the provider's license and spelling before filing.

How the official source says to file
- Use the online system linked from Complaint Procedure, or complete the paper complaint and HIPAA authorization.
- Mail completed forms to MSBML / Investigative Division, COMPLAINT, 805 S. Wheatley Street, Suite 600, Ridgeland, MS 39157; or fax 601-987-6822, Attention Investigations. The form expressly says not to email it.
- Identify the practitioner, patient, dates, treatment, witnesses and facts. Sign the truthfulness statement and medical-record release. Use a separate authorization for each records provider or facility; someone signing for the patient must attach proof of legal authority. Submit supporting copies and keep originals.

What this route may not provide
The Board reviews possible Medical Practice Act violations, including unsafe prescribing, impairment, abandonment, refusal to provide records and unlicensed practice. It does not regulate fee or insurance disputes, give legal opinions, or intervene in lawsuits. Its published outcomes concern licensing action; do not expect complaint filing to produce a payment.

Do not guess about confidentiality
The Board says complaint files and investigations are confidential by law, and its process may request the licensee's response. The paper form requests identifying information and signatures. Anonymous filing and the precise circumstances for disclosure of your identity were not established by these materials; ask Investigations before relying on anonymity.

Filing deadline not established; ask promptly
A filing deadline was not established by this check; ask promptly at 601-987-3079 and request Investigations. The reviewed instructions do not promise a completion date. The separate records-access and provider-termination time references are not complaint-filing periods.
What may happen after filing
A committee screens the complaint for a possible violation. Depending on the allegation, it may seek the licensee's response or start an investigation. Review can lead to dismissal, nonpublic or nondisciplinary closure, a public agreement, or a hearing and discipline such as probation, suspension or revocation.

Prepare a reviewable submission
State the concern you want reviewed, then add a short chronology, best supporting records, factual consequences, and a specific request for review.
