Washington, DC 20005

You can also fax the complaint form to the appropriate Board at (202) 727-8471.

Please be advised that the health professional licensing boards do not have jurisdiction over fee disputes, except for billing for services that were not provided.  If you have a fee dispute with a health professional, you can seek redress through the civil courts.
