Additionally, monthly OIG, SAM, and Medicaid exclusion screening protects your facility after the hire. As a result, you onboard clinical staff quickly and stay audit-ready.

What Our Healthcare Background Check Includes
Clinical and non-clinical staff need the same core protections. Consequently, every healthcare background check bundles identity, sanctions, license, and criminal searches for $58.
FACIS® Level III Repository Search
FACIS® stands for Fraud Abuse and Control Information System. It aggregates sanctions from OIG, SAM, DEA, FDA, TRICARE, and licensing boards in all 50 states. Moreover, the repository adds more than 20,000 new records in an average month.
Professional License Verification
We confirm each license directly with the issuing board. Additionally, the report shows current status, expiration, and any disciplinary action. Therefore, you never schedule a provider with a lapsed or restricted license.
Identity and Criminal Records
An SSN trace reveals aliases, former names, and address history. Then, we search nationwide criminal records, the national sex offender registry, and global watch lists. As a result, one report covers identity, sanctions, and criminal history.
Every healthcare background check contains the following searches:
- SSN trace with aliases, former names, and past address history
- FACIS® Level III repository search
- Professional license verification and current status
- Nationwide criminal database search
- National sex offender registry search
- USA Patriot Act, OFAC/SDN, FINRA, EPL, OIG, SAM, and USDA sanctions
- Global watch list, Interpol, and Canadian sanctions
- U.S.-based analyst review before release
Why Healthcare Employers Choose USAbackground.com
Federal health programs fund most hospital revenue. In contrast, one excluded employee can trigger penalties and repayment demands. Our healthcare screening closes that gap before and after the hire.
Monthly Exclusion Monitoring
We rescreen employees and vendors against OIG, SAM, LEIE, and state Medicaid lists every month. Consequently, new exclusions surface before a claim goes out.
Batch Uploads for Large Rosters
Upload hundreds or thousands of names in one file. Then, our staff process every name and flag only verified matches.
Human-Reviewed Matches
Analysts verify every possible exclusion against the subject’s Social Security number. Therefore, false positives rarely reach your compliance officer.
No Offshoring of PII
All patient-facing staff data stays inside U.S. borders. Moreover, PCI DSS-compliant payments and SSL encryption protect every order.
Multiple Authentication Factor (MAF)
Every user account includes Multiple Authentication Factor (MAF) protection. As a result, a stolen password alone cannot expose employee reports.
Mobile Self-Screening for Candidates
Nurses and technicians complete consent, ID upload, and e-signature from any phone. Meanwhile, your recruiters keep filling shifts.

Exclusion Screening Rules Every Provider Must Follow
Federal regulations require healthcare providers to screen employees and vendors for program exclusions. Specifically, you must check OIG, SAM, LEIE, and state Medicaid exclusion lists. Medicare and Medicaid will not pay for any item or service an excluded person furnishes. Consequently, one missed exclusion can create overpayment liability.
The OIG may also impose civil monetary penalties for each item or service involved. Additionally, assessments can reach three times the amount claimed. Therefore, most compliance programs screen new hires before day one and rescreen everyone monthly.
Many states add their own lists. For example, Ohio requires the Abuser Registry and the Finding for Recovery database. Similarly, New Jersey requires monthly checks of its licensure and nurse aide registries.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) still governs hiring decisions. As a result, you need a signed authorization before ordering and a pre-adverse action notice before declining. We provide compliance tools, not legal advice. However, our support team can point you to the right resources.
Healthcare Background Check FAQs
What is a FACIS® Level III background check?
FACIS® Level III is the broadest healthcare sanctions search available. It covers OIG, SAM, DEA, FDA, TRICARE, and disciplinary boards in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Additionally, it includes state Medicaid exclusions and contractor debarment lists.
How much does a healthcare background check cost?

How long does a healthcare background check take?
Most reports finish within 24 hours. Database, sanctions, and SSN trace results return within 1–4 hours. However, county court add-ons depend on courthouse response times.
How often should we run exclusion screening?
The OIG recommends routine checks of the LEIE for new hires and current staff. Therefore, we recommend monthly rescreening of every employee and vendor. Some states, such as New Jersey, require monthly checks by law.

Yes. We confirm each license with the issuing board and report its current status. Additionally, the report lists any disciplinary actions we find.
Can we screen vendors and contractors too?
Yes. Exclusion screening covers employees, contractors, and vendors. Furthermore, batch uploads let you submit hundreds of names at once.
