Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Nationwide caregiver criminal history screening before hire and every three years after (8.314.6.11(B)(1)(d) NMAC)

  • Critical incident, abuse, neglect and exploitation reporting training (8.314.6.11(B)(1)(e) NMAC)

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