Is an organization required to meet state and federal laws if it is not noted in the standards and/or interpretive information/commentary section?
Response: State and federal laws supersede URAC Standards if the laws or regulations are more rigorous than URAC Standards. Conversely, an applicant must comply with URAC Standards if the standards are more stringent. If an applicant is required by law to carry out its business in a manner not consistent with URAC Standards, then the applicant may request a variance from a URAC Standard. A copy of the relevant statute or regulation must accompany the request submitted for that standard in the application.
