Scam Alert

Recently scammers have contacted Idaho practitioners claiming to be from their Idaho Board, the US Department of Justice, or the Drug Enforcement Administration. The scammers claim the licensee is either under investigation or their license has been suspended and an immediate payment is required. Do not reply or provide any information. Remember the Board will not act against a provider’s license, such as a license suspension or other discipline without due process and without notice to the licensee. Contact the Board via the information provided on the Board’s website if there is any concern about unusual emails, texts, or phone calls regarding licensure.
