Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Nationwide fingerprint check through the highway patrol for an applicant who has not lived in Missouri for five consecutive years and has no licensed Missouri facility employment in that time (RSMo 192.2495.3(1))
  • Applicant signs a consent and discloses criminal history, any EDL listing and any FCSR listing (RSMo 192.2495.5)
  • Good cause waiver from DHSS before employing someone with a disqualifying conviction; none for an EDL listing (RSMo 192.2495.10; 19 CSR 30-82.060)
  • Home health aide training and competency (42 CFR 484.80)

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