KANSAS · CARE PROGRAM

Hospice

Hospice employees and contracted staff with direct patient contact or access to records. No Kansas hospice licence or hospice background-check law was found, so 42 CFR 418.114(d) sets the criminal check.

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • With no state requirement, criminal background checks covering every state lived or worked in during the past 3 years, within 3 months of hire (42 CFR 418.114(d)(2))
  • Hospice aide training and competency evaluation (42 CFR 418.76)

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