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.
Not open to the public
The agency doesn't publish it. Only the agency, or employers it authorizes, can check it.

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.
