Learn more about healthcare background checks
What is a healthcare background check?+
A healthcare background check is a screening used by healthcare organizations to determine a candidate's qualifications. It generally screens for healthcare sanctions, criminal records, license status, and other potential red flags relevant to patient care.
What are the requirements of a healthcare background check?+
Requirements vary by organization and role, but typically include criminal history, professional license verification, healthcare sanctions, and drug testing. Physicians and nurses may be subject to more rigorous screening than support roles.
What is a Level 2 background check for healthcare workers?+
A Level 2 check is a FACIS® (Fraud and Abuse Control Information System) search showing exclusions, debarments, sanctions, or disciplinary actions. Ethur offers Level 1M and Level 3 screenings to meet state and federal requirements.
What shows up on a healthcare background check?+
Common results include criminal history, sex offender registry hits, SSN trace, healthcare sanctions, professional license status, MVR records, employment and education verification, health screenings, and drug testing results.
How far back does a hospital background check go?+
Lookback periods vary by check type and jurisdiction. Convictions can typically be reported indefinitely, while non-conviction information is limited to seven years under FCRA — though limits may not apply for roles paying $75,000+.
How long do hospital pre-employment background checks take?+
Anywhere from a few minutes to several weeks. Working with Ethur typically returns most healthcare screenings in hours to days, with full transparency for both employer and candidate throughout the process.
