Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Physical exam or health screening and 2-step TB test within 12 months before patient contact (He-P 809.17(h)(7))
  • Orientation before patient contact and annual in-service education (He-P 809.17(h)(4)-(5))
  • Home health aide training and competency evaluation (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.
Requires an employer account
Searches go through the employer's own account with the agency, so ezOIG doesn't run them for you.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
