LPA requested client's to be evaluated by their primary physician and to complete the LIC 602 as required and LPA provided a technical violation advisory note on 03/21/2023. Administrator stated they would complete and send to LPA.

LPA opened complaint (control# 21-AS-20230407164133) on 04/11/2023 and observed C1, C2 , C3 still did not have their LIC602 completed as required.
