Illinois complaints about licensed professionals
A concern about a licensed professional
Illinois's Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, or IDFPR, accepts complaints about the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and pharmacies it regulates.
It provides online and printable complaint forms, as described in the September 28, 2026 record.
Write what happened in plain words. Keep a copy of what you submit and any documents you attach.
Help through the Attorney General
A bill, coverage dispute, or misleading ad
As of September 28, 2026, the Illinois Attorney General's Health Care Bureau helps with billing, coverage, and misleading health ads.
It cannot take on your case as a private lawyer.
Say what you are asking to have explained or resolved. Keep the written offer alongside the amount actually charged.
Medicine reports and medical help
A problem linked to a medicine
MedWatch, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical-product reporting programme, accepts patients' reports of medicine problems.
One report alone is not proof that the medicine caused the problem.
Reporting is separate from getting medical help for symptoms.
For a severe allergic reaction, emergency care comes first.
