Expected checks

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

None for this program.

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Motor vehicle driver record check for workers expected to transport people served (DAIL Background Check Policy § III.D)
  • Reference checks before the worker starts (HCAR 7.100.6(b)(13)(A))
  • Criminal convictions are judged case by case, with a written variance process (DAIL Background Check Policy § VI)

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.
Paid access
The agency charges for access, and ezOIG doesn't include it yet.
