  • No claim for services by anyone without a current, valid criminal history check or variance (Waiver Provider Conditions of Participation, 9/1/2022)
  • Care coordinators certified individually by Senior and Disabilities Services (7 AAC 130.238)

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.
The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
