They are, however, able to view the modules if they so choose.  \nWill it be at the discretion of the MCO as to who they will allow to take the exam?  \nNo, effective October 1, 2019 the waiver process under previous law will be replaced by a direct process through DHHS. This process begins with a web-based License Verification Form (LVF) completed by the applicant. The LVF will be available on the DMH/DD/SUS website.  \nHow do I gain access to the training and the exam?  \nEffective October 1, 2019-The on-line exam will be available on the 1st & 2nd and 15th & 16th of each month1.

Can I perform first level evaluations statewide if I am on the list?  \nIf a person is certified as a commitment examiner after October 1, 2019 they will be able to perform the evaluation wherever they are employed so long as the employer permits it, regardless of payor source. If they have a contract with the LME-MCO to provide first evaluation services, that contract will govern.  \nIf I evaluate a client over tele psych in another county, can I submit paperwork for an IVC in the county the client is currently in?  \nYes, you can file a petition in the county where the Respondent is located.
