Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Criminal records check and fitness determination before employment, contract or volunteer patient contact, and every three years; staff licensed by a health professional regulatory board are exempt (OAR 333-035-0210(2), (8), (10); 42 CFR 418.114(d))
  • Staff report any conviction, arrest, indictment or charge for a sexual offense or property crime, or board discipline, within 10 days (OAR 333-035-0210(7))

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.

Guidance, not legal advice

This page summarizes ezOIG's research into Oregon's rules for this program, checked against the regulations as of October 15, 2026. Rules change, and an agency's own contract or license can add to them. Confirm what applies to you with Oregon Health Authority (Oregon Health Plan); long-term care and developmental disability services through the Oregon Department of Human Services or your own counsel before relying on it.
