Requirement for Fingerprint-Based Criminal Background ChecksBackground

On July 30, 2017, NCTracks will implement a federal requirement for providers designated as “high categorical risk” or any person with a 5 percent or more direct or indirect ownership interest in the organization to be fingerprinted. The requirement is retroactively effective for providers enrolled or re-credentialed on or after August 1, 2015. For more information on the specific federal regulations, refer to the original February 24 announcement as well as the July 2017 Medicaid Bulletin.
