Health Care Employment Agency Registration

The department's new health care employment agency rules implementing House File 2521, passed by the 89th General Assembly went into effect on Jan. 4, 2023. 

  • The rules require all existing health care employment agencies to register once per year with the department. 
     
  • In place of completing this form, the same information may be faxed to 515.242.5022, or mailed to:

         Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing
         Health & Safety Division
         6200 Park Avenue, Suite 100
         Des Moines, Iowa 50321
     
  • In addition to completing this form, a payment of $500 per health care employment agency office location operating in Iowa should be sent to the mailing address above (and made payable to the same). Please include the confirmation number you receive after submitting this form along with your payment. There is not an option to submit this payment electronically, however, it is anticipated the department will be able to accept electronic payments in the future.
     
  • You will not be officially registered until both your registration and payment are received and processed by the department. You will receive an email confirmation after your payment is processed and you have been added to the database.
     
  • Please note this is not a license. You will not receive a certificate. The email your agency contact receives from DIAL is the confirmation of your registration. Your registration expires after one year from the date of registration.
     
  • You only need to register once per year. Please do not complete the registration form multiple times within one year. This may slow down your registration as it will need to be manually corrected.
     
  • You will need to complete a quarterly report each quarter that you are registered, regardless of whether or not you have qualifying hired staff within the state that quarter.
