Healthcare background checks
Protect your patients and organization with comprehensive, compliant background screening
Healthcare screening built for compliance
Healthcare organizations face unique screening demands. We verify credentials, check exclusion lists, and confirm licensure status with the precision your patients deserve.
Medical license verification across all states
We confirm active licenses, board certifications, and any disciplinary actions. Real-time verification against state medical boards ensures accuracy. Results arrive with full documentation for your records.
OIG exclusion list screening for compliance
The Office of Inspector General exclusion list identifies individuals barred from federal healthcare programs. We check every candidate against this critical database. Any matches trigger immediate notification to protect your organization.
Sanctions and disciplinary action screening
We search state medical board records for sanctions, suspensions, and disciplinary history. This includes malpractice claims and professional conduct violations. Complete transparency on any red flags before hiring.
Three pillars of healthcare screening
Healthcare employers operate under strict regulatory requirements. We handle FCRA and HIPAA compliance so you can focus on patient care and staffing decisions with confidence.
FCRA and HIPAA compliance built in
Every check follows Fair Credit Reporting Act standards and protects sensitive health information with HIPAA-grade security.
