    The license

    • A discount medical plan organization license under SDCL chapter 58-17E. The Division publishes a license application requirement checklist and an additional information page.

    and the surety bond

    • A DMPO surety bond on the Division's own form, which it publishes beside the checklist. It is the only one of the six instruments on South Dakota's Other License Types page that carries a published bond form.

    and the duty to report

    • 58-17E-8 requires notification of the director where a discount medical plan organization loses something the chapter requires it to keep.

    SDCL chapter 58-17E, Discount Medical Plans. There is no examination and no course. Delaware, New Hampshire and Nebraska are the other states on this site carrying the same instrument, and South Dakota's is the only one with a bond form published next to the application.

No national seller sells a course for this license. Aceable does not sell South Dakota at all. There is no examination and no course: the qualification is an application checklist and a surety bond on the Division's own form.
