WYOMING · CARE PROGRAM

Nursing Care Facility

Nurse aides and licensed staff of nursing care facilities. Wyoming's licensing rule (Aging Division Chapter 11) names no registry, so the federal requirements carry the checks.

    WHEN
    MONTHLY At hire and monthly

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Nurse aide training and competency evaluation (42 CFR 483.35(d))
  • References from former employers and evidence of current certification, licensure or registration in each personnel record (Aging Division Rules Ch. 11 § 5(b)(i)(A))
  • Tuberculin testing at employment before resident contact, then annually (Ch. 11 § 5(b)(iv)(A))

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