Fraud Alert from the FL DOH

The Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA) distributed an email to all licensed health care practitioners as they have seen an uptick in reported scams and phishing attempts. The last thing we want is for fellow healthcare practitioners to be victims of fraud so we are sharing some highlights.

  • Ask yourself: Why would I need my password to access someone else’s file share? Do not enter credentials on unknown pages.
  • Watch for inconsistent capitalization, vague language, poor grammar, or missing contact information – all red flags.
  • Always verify the sender’s email domain. Official emails will come from @flhealth.gov.
  • Never provide personal or banking information over the phone. Hang up and contact MQA directly to confirm.
  • MQA does not send suspension notices via phone or email. Be cautious of urgent demands to “act immediately.”
  • Double-check domains, letter by letter. When in doubt, call MQA directly using verified contact information.
  • Do not open attachments from unknown sources. Official MQA emails include clear context, contact information, and official email signatures.
  • MQA will never ask for payment via untraceable methods. Only pay through secure, verified channels.

From BOA
If You Suspect a Scam: 

If you have accidentally entered your credentials into any prompt or website that seems suspicious, or if you have been contacted by a suspicious caller or email, change your password immediately, gather the following information about the incident, and report it by calling the MQA Customer Contact Call Center at 850-488-0595 or emailing .

  • A description of the scam and how you were contacted.
  • Screenshots of the phone call (with the timestamp and number).
  • Photos of any documents or emails received (including the sender’s email or fax number).
  • A copy of the envelope or bank charges, if applicable.

Thank you for helping us protect the integrity of Florida’s health care workforce.

Important updates to your account and the website platform

 

Hello FSOMA Acupuncturists! 

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new website platform for our valued members and the public! Your patience throughout this transition period has been greatly appreciated.

After diligent effort with our tech team, we’re proud to announce that we are launching a more stable and robust platform, designed to enhance your user experience and offer an array of new features and resources. Whether you’re accessing information or engaging with our community, we’re confident you’ll find the new website to be much more user-friendly. As we embark on this exciting journey together, we extend our gratitude for your ongoing support, which fuels our mission to serve and empower professional acupuncturists in Florida. 

Please take a moment to read through the important updates regarding membership renewal and payment processes outlined below. Your involvement is integral to our collective success, and we’re excited to grow and innovate together through this new platform. Thank you for being a vital part of the FSOMA community!

If this is the first time you are renewing your membership since March 1st, 2025, because of the changes to our system all memberships that were due to automatically renew will instead expire on their next renewal date. 

To keep your account active you must log in with your username and update your credit card information by manually re-registering your membership through our new gateway when it is time for your renewal. This is only a one time process. 

At the time of your first login you will be prompted to reset your password. Once logged in, just navigate to the Become a Member page and select your membership level and follow the checkout process.

For payment to process smoothly, please make sure that your payment method is active, and you have sufficient funds. And if you need to automate your payments in our new platform for the future, simply go to your Account Profile while logged in and under the ‘My Subscriptions’ tab select your active subscription and make sure auto-renew is toggled on.

As your renewal date gets close you will receive email reminders about this process and the steps to take. You will also receive reminders if your membership has lapsed as a helpful nudge in case you missed the initial reminder emails, so stay on the lookout through this process to help us help you keep your account active. 

Your ongoing support is what drives us to continue working to secure YOUR future as a professional acupuncturist in the state of Florida and to provide the best possible services to our members. The more we grow the more we can do and the new website will help take us there!

Please keep an eye out for future communications and updates as we move forward.

Best regards,

Your FSOMA Board of Directors
