How ezOIG screens in North Carolina

In every state, ezOIG screens the federal lists: the HHS-OIG exclusion list (LEIE), SAM.gov exclusions and the OFAC sanctions list.

Of North Carolina's own registries, ezOIG screens 5: NC Medicaid State Excluded Provider List, N.C. Medication Aide Registry for Nursing Homes, N.C. Nurse Aide I Registry, N.C. Health Care Personnel Registry and North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry.

3 registries the rules name are not screened by ezOIG yet. Each is listed below with the reason, so you know which to check another way.

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.
