Commission plans broad outreach for clinic RFP and confirms out-of-state applicants must obtain Utah licensure
Summary
The commission will post the RFP on the state webpage, send it to known local providers, and accept out-of-state applicants provided they obtain Utah licensure and meet state requirements such as background checks.
Commissioners agreed to broadly post the clinic RFP on the state's website and to send the solicitation directly to known regional providers to encourage submissions.
Kent advised that out-of-state applicants — for example, providers based in Wyoming — would "have to apply and follow Utah laws" and described the usual process: applicants apply for Utah licensure, pay required fees, and undergo a background check. "They usually just go ahead and grant a Utah license," Kent said, noting reciprocity with Wyoming for professional licensing but that applicants must still meet Utah requirements before operating in the state.
Commissioners asked staff to ensure the RFP language clarifies eligibility and licensure requirements so potential proposers understand what is required to operate in Utah if they are based elsewhere. They also asked that the procurement be posted widely and sent to specific hospitals and clinics the commission identified.
