WYOMING · CARE PROGRAM

DD Waivers (Comprehensive and Supports)

Managers, supervisors, direct care staff, self-directed employees and anyone with unsupervised access to participants of the Comprehensive and Supports Waivers (intellectual or developmental disability, or acquired brain injury; Medicaid Rules Ch. 46 § 7); adults living in a home where services are given need the same checks except the OIG search. Transitional pilot providers (Medicaid Rules Ch. 53) meet the same standards.

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • State and national fingerprinted criminal history check for the crimes in Wyoming Statutes Title 6, Chapters 2 and 4 (Ch. 45 § 14(e)(iii)); the approved waivers (Appendix C-2(a)) and the HCBS Section's DD screening page now ask for a national name- and SSN-based screening and refuse state-only screenings
  • CPR and first aid certification, and a medication assistance training certificate for anyone assisting with medications (Ch. 45 § 5(a))
  • Volunteers and staff under 18 supervised by a screened adult; nobody convicted of a sexual offense may volunteer (Ch. 45 § 14(k))

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.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
