Healthcare screening FAQ
How often do I need to screen healthcare staff against OIG and state exclusion lists?+
Federal guidance recommends monthly screening of all employees, vendors, and contractors against the OIG LEIE, GSA SAM, and applicable state Medicaid exclusion lists. SafestHires automates this with continuous monitoring.
Do you handle primary-source license verification?+
Yes. We verify directly with the issuing state board for nurses, physicians, allied health professionals, and behavioral health clinicians, and we capture board actions and disciplinary history.
Can SafestHires query the NPDB for our facility?+
We coordinate NPDB self-queries with the candidate and integrate the results into the credentialing file. Direct entity queries are handled by your authorized credentialing staff.
Is drug testing included for clinical roles?+
Yes. Standard healthcare packages include a 10-panel urine screen with MRO review, and we support hair, oral fluid, and post-accident testing protocols.
