Actually - it is NOT two years. There is a lot of confusion regarding this. The company I helped thought it was one year and used that year to ensure that all their policies and practices were in place. In the mean time, they just solicited and filled non-medicare jobs. But, when the year was up and the agencies came and audited them for compliance, the auditor told us that it did not require a year's time. To this day I am still a bit confused about it all as I spend many hours on the phone and on the web gathering information on this process.

It has been a while so I am struggling to remember everything here. Your best bet would be to call the agency directly. Then work very hard on completing your package (all the policies and forms etc that they require). In putting your package together, use free sources like a SBDC - to find answer to questions that you have. Once it is completed - send it in - don't wait a year or two. This way, you will either be grated your license earlier - or be officially told how long you have to wait. But, I bet if you get it in as early as possible, you will get your license eariler.

The one thing that I remember this company having the most trouble with was employees. Employees not showing up or calling in. Even some supervisiors not going out on the initial sales call and assessing the needs of the customer before sending in a worker. Employees stealing from the customer. I guess I am just trying to say - really have great employee policies - stick to them - and make sure that each and every employee knows them inside and out - this will save you a lot of headache in the long-run.

Best of Luck to all of you
