Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Criminal background check on each companion or sitter meeting the certified nurse aide criteria in 63 O.S. § 1-1950.1, copy kept on file (63 O.S. § 1-1972(B)(2), (B)(7)(c); OAC 310:662-8-5)

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.
