How ezOIG screens in Arizona

In every state, ezOIG screens the federal lists: the HHS-OIG exclusion list (LEIE), SAM.gov exclusions and the OFAC sanctions list.

Of Arizona's own registries, ezOIG screens 1: AHCCCS State Exclusion List.

7 registries the rules name are not screened by ezOIG yet. Each is listed below with the reason, so you know which to check another way.

Each program's checks, with the rule behind each one

DIRECT CARE
ALTCS Direct Care Services (Attendant Care, Personal Care, Homemaker)
Direct care workers of agencies, including Agency with Choice and paid family caregivers; habilitation (AMPM 1240-E) carries the same checks. No exception to the registry checks, even for workers serving only family.
3 required checks, 1 screened by ezOIG · 4 expected
SDAC
Self-Directed Attendant Care
Workers the ALTCS member hires directly, paid through a fiscal/employer agent; AHCCCS makes background checks the member's choice.
0 required checks, 0 screened by ezOIG · 4 expected
ADULT DAY HEALTH
Adult Day Health Care
Personnel of ADHS-licensed adult day health care facilities serving ALTCS members.
2 required checks, 1 screened by ezOIG · 3 expected
ASSISTED LIVING
Assisted Living Facilities and Adult Foster Care Homes
Managers, caregivers, assistant caregivers, contractors and volunteers in assisted living centers and homes; A.R.S. § 36-401 counts an adult foster care home as an assisted living facility, so the rules are identical.

NOT SCREENED YET The registry's terms forbid automated searches

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.
Requires an employer account: Searches go through the employer's own account with the agency, so ezOIG doesn't run them for you.

Add a few people, run a check, and see what comes back.
