Primary Care Clinic (PCC) –  Affiliate Application Instructions for Initial, and Change of Location (CHOL) Applications​

To receive a health facility license in California, an applicant must fully complete the required application forms and submit them with all of the identified supporting documents.

  • Retain a copy of the completed application forms and supporting documents – CAB may contact the applicant and will refer to the information provided​

Review Process

CAB conducts a comprehensive review of the application packet to validate receipt of all required forms and supporting documents, ensures compliance with state and federal requirements, and requests the application packet fee.

CAB completes the review process, sends the application packet to the district office, and issues the state license.
