How to Register

  • Complete and print the registration application.
  • Return the completed application and cashier’s check or money order for $150 (payable to: Florida Department of Health) to:
    Florida Department of Health, P.O. Box 6330, Tallahassee, FL 32314

  • You will be contacted by a Department representative if there are issues with your application. Otherwise, you will receive your registration by mail.
  • If the pain management clinic will not be entirely physician-owned, registration with the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is required. The processing time for this registration can be lengthy; therefore, AHCA registration should be completed before applying for the pain management clinic registration.
  • The original application with the applicant’s original signature must be mailed to the Florida Department of Health (faxed copies are not acceptable).
  • Be sure to answer question 11 in its entirety including names and addresses of any and all pain clinic owners, principles, officers, agents, managing employees and affiliated persons. You can access public information provided to the Florida Department of State.
  • Be sure to answer all questions on the application and have the medical director/designated physician sign and date the application.
  • Post offices do not accept overnight or express packages. For faster delivery, priority mail (2-3 days) is accepted by post office boxes.
