OKLAHOMA · CARE PROGRAM

Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Services and Supports (CDPASS)

Personal services assistants (PSA) and advanced personal services assistants (APSA) hired by ADvantage and other waiver members who self-direct; the ADvantage Administration’s financial management service obtains the checks for the member/employer, and OKDHS verifies them before the OHCA individual provider agreement takes effect.

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • OKDHS verifies no conviction for a crime defined in 63 O.S. § 1-1950 et seq. before the agreement (Self-Directed Services and Support Individual Provider Agreement § 2.2(b)(v))
  • Verifiable identification, verifiable work history or references, age 18 or over, and competence shown to the member (same agreement, § 2.2(b)(i)-(iv))
  • The financial management service obtains criminal and abuse registry background checks on prospective PSA or APSA hires on the member/employer’s behalf (OAC 317:30-5-763(15)(D)(iii))

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.
