Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • County criminal history check in each county the person lived in during the three years before the check (460 IAC 6-10-5(c))
  • Tuberculosis screening before providing services, updated as the CDC recommends (460 IAC 6-15-2(b)(1))
  • CPR certification renewed every two years for staff who work with individuals (460 IAC 6-15-2(b)(2))

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