Mobile-specific requirements identified

Ala. Code § 34-9-6.1 requires registration and pre-registration inspection for covered mobile facilities and portable operations. Keep an Alabama business address associated with an established dental facility and a 24-hour telephone number with emergency-call capability.

Maintain at least $1 million in general liability coverage; governmental operators are exempt from that insurance requirement. The section excludes Department of Public Health and county health department mobile facilities and covered operations during a Governor-declared emergency. Follow-up arrangements generally use a fixed facility within 50 miles, subject to availability and agreement; the statute specifies alternatives when that arrangement cannot be made.

Review the remaining consent, records, equipment, reporting, and local-permit duties. Current application rules and Medicaid payment requirements need separate review.

Licensing information

This guide is for general information and is not legal advice. Regulations can change often. Always check current requirements with state and local licensing authorities before starting services, changing locations, or expanding your program. Consult qualified legal counsel about your specific operations. Verify contact details before sending applications or records.

“No known mobile-specific regulations” means this guide does not identify a separate mobile-specific requirement for the service category in that entry. It is not confirmation that no such requirements exist. General healthcare laws, professional rules, service-specific approvals, payer conditions, and local requirements may still apply. This guide is not an exhaustive compliance checklist.

The professional licensing authorities listed within each jurisdiction are starting points. Facility licensing, pharmacy, radiation, public health, and payer questions may belong to different agencies. Ask the listed authority to direct you to the appropriate office when needed.
