1. A provider preparing cost or other feasibility projections for
a request for relief or an exception pursuant to section 249K.3 may
submit a request for preliminary evaluation.
2. The request shall contain all of the information required for
the type of assistance sought pursuant to section 249K.3.

completion of the project to allow the department to respond with
estimates of both instant relief and the nondirect care limit
exception.
4. The department shall respond to a request for preliminary
evaluation under this section within thirty days of receipt of the
