Expected checks

Standard practice, or implied by a provider's enrollment duties; no rule names them outright

  1. Terminated Providers (Termination of Provider Participation in Medicaid and CHIP)

    Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning

    SCREENED BY EZOIG State Medicaid exclusion list check
    WHEN

    BASIS
    Practice, not a rule: Indiana's only published list of for-cause Medicaid terminations (grounds include federal exclusion and adverse licensure action). No rule names employee screening against it, and FSSA calls it informational, not an exclusion list

    Note: This list reflects historical and current “for cause” terminations. This list is not an active or ongoing exclusionary list. It is intended solely for informational purposes.

    General Services Administration

    SCREENED BY EZOIG Federal exclusion check against SAM.gov
    WHEN
    MONTHLY At hire and monthly, alongside the LEIE search
    BASIS
    Standard practice for IHCP providers; FSSA screens enrolling providers against SAM, but no Indiana rule names SAM for staff

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Annual negative TB test or chest x-ray for direct care staff (455 IAC 2-6-3(4))
  • Written personnel policy with reference, employment and criminal background checks and a bar on employing people convicted of listed crimes (455 IAC 2-15-2)
  • National fingerprint-based check for owners and managing individuals of attendant care and medical equipment providers, the high-risk enrollment category (IHCP waiver modules)
  • Self-directed CHOICE personal services attendants register with the division, which requires a limited criminal history, expanded criminal history check or other lawful criminal history check and, if applicable, a nurse aide registry report, updated every two years (IC 12-10-17.1-12)

Why some registries are not screened yet

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.
Paid access
The agency charges for access, and ezOIG doesn't include it yet.
