Expected checks

Standard practice, or implied by a provider's enrollment duties; no rule names them outright

  1. List of Excluded Individuals/Entities

    HHS Office of Inspector General

    SCREENED BY EZOIG Federal exclusion check against the HHS-OIG list
    WHEN
    AT HIRE At hire, then routinely
    BASIS
    42 CFR 1001.1901 bars federal health care program payment for services by excluded people; binding through enrollment only where the facility bills ND Medicaid or is enrolled as a QSP agency

  2. North Dakota Medicaid Provider Exclusion List

    North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services, Medical Services Division

    SCREENED BY EZOIG State Medicaid exclusion list check
    WHEN
    AT HIRE At hire, then routinely
    BASIS
    Standard practice; NDAC 75-02-05-07(13) applies only where the facility bills ND Medicaid or is enrolled as a QSP agency

  3. North Dakota Board of Nursing License Verification

    North Dakota Board of Nursing

    NOT SCREENED YET The registry's terms forbid automated searches
    WHEN
    AT HIRE Before hire, licensed nurses and Board-registered UAPs or medication assistants
    BASIS
    NDCC 50-32-05(4) requires a check of 'applicable registries'; the Board of Nursing's registry of licensees and UAPs is likely among them, but the statute names none

  4. SAM.gov exclusions

    General Services Administration

    SCREENED BY EZOIG Federal exclusion check against SAM.gov
    WHEN
    AT HIRE At hire
    BASIS
    Standard practice; no rule names SAM

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Reference and previous employment check before hire (NDCC 50-32-05(4))
  • Annual training of direct care staff in resident rights, fire and accident prevention, health needs, behaviour and infection control (NDCC 50-32-05(2))

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.
