Core Components of a Healthcare Screening Program

  • Criminal background checks: multi-jurisdictional and county searches
  • License & certification verification: state licensing boards, NPI, specialty credentials
  • Sanctions / exclusion list checks: OIG, GSA, Medicare/Medicaid, debarment lists
  • Clinical employment verifications: validating work history in healthcare settings
  • Continuous / periodic re-screening: ensure ongoing compliance over time

Each of these components can be included individually or as part of a full healthcare package.
