RESPONSE: Regarding Decisional Rule Criteria #5, the quoter must submit the state facility license to provide services if required by the state. If the state does not require a license, the quoter must provide evidence that the state does not require a license for the specific services. It is recommended that the quoter contact the state licensing board for necessary information. The requirement states: "If state/local laws do not require facility licensing, the quoter must provide official documentation that allow for services to be performed (e.g., email from treatment specific regulatory board)."
