Health Care LLC's Must Register With State
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- A new requirement will increase oversight of Illinois health care companies.

Health care companies structured as limited liability companies must now register with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. This includes LLCs established by doctors, dentists and other health care professionals.

All LLCs are expected to be licensed within 90 days. The department will begin enforcement for failure to be licensed then.

The initial registration fee is $50 and the annual renewal fee is $40.

Registration provides basic information about the LLC and discloses the people responsible for the LLC's operation. Patients dealing with the LLC for billing, scheduling and other business activities can seek help from the department if they have problems not directly related to the work of a licensed professional.
