Background Check Program
PROTECT YOUR STATE'S MOST VULNERABLE CITIZENS WITH AN INTEGRATED BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM
In 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act authorized the creation of the 2004 Background Check Pilot Program. In 2010, the pilot program was expanded and funded through section 6201 of the Affordable Care Act. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) new background check demonstration project provides a unique opportunity for states to improve their approach to background checks and develop more efficient, sustainable programs at the same time.
Our approach to improving background check programs combines the best-practice system design demonstrated in the CMS pilot and a web-based software platform designed to work with multiple registries, rap-back systems and State Police and FBI fingerprint checks.
