High-volume, fast-turnaround hiring that still demands full compliance screening.
Why it's different
Healthcare background checks aren't just about criminal history. The regulatory landscape is layered - federal exclusion lists, state caregiver registries, fingerprint mandates, and ongoing monitoring requirements that never stop after hire.
CMS requires that Medicare and Medicaid providers check every employee against the OIG exclusion list - and keep checking. A one-time pre-hire search isn't enough. Continuous monitoring catches exclusions that happen post-hire.
Most states maintain abuse and neglect registries for care workers. Requirements vary - who must be checked, which registries apply, and how often. PreSearch tracks state-by-state rules so you don't have to.
California, Florida, and several other states require fingerprint-based checks for certain healthcare roles. These run through DOJ or FBI channels - not standard employment background checks - and PreSearch coordinates the process.
Many requirements don't end at hire. Annual re-checks, periodic registry searches, and continuous exclusion monitoring are part of the compliance picture. PreSearch automates renewals so nothing lapses.
When a background check returns a disqualifying result, federal law requires a specific adverse action process - pre-adverse notice, waiting period, final notice. PreSearch generates and tracks every step.
A hospital in California faces different mandates than one in Texas or New York. State law dictates which checks are required, which registries apply, and how long screenings stay current.

FAQ
PreSearch is built API-first and designed for sustained high throughput. Organizations can submit and retrieve results programmatically without manual bottlenecks. Our architecture supports continuous monitoring and bulk ordering while maintaining consistent turnaround times, even during peak periods.
All screenings are FCRA-compliant with full audit trails. We support role-based access, detailed logging of every action, and secure data handling that meets enterprise requirements. PBSA-accredited processes give you an independently verified layer of compliance confidence.
Yes. PreSearch supports SAML/SSO, REST API access, and common ATS/HRIS integrations. Enterprise clients receive dedicated implementation support and a direct point of contact for technical or compliance questions. No ticket queues.
Absolutely. You can define location-specific packages, set conditional triggers for continuous monitoring, and configure approval chains or adverse-action workflows that match your internal policies. Most enterprise setups are configured during a short onboarding call.
Typical enterprise onboarding includes a discovery call to map your current process, configuration of custom packages and integrations, SSO setup, and a test cycle before going live. There are no platform or setup fees. You only pay per screening.
Yes. PreSearch is accredited by the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA). Accreditation requires passing an independent audit of our operational processes, data security practices, legal compliance, and client service standards. It is the industry's highest third-party verification that a background screening company operates correctly.
Most individual search results are returned in under 2 hours. Most complete reports are back within 24 hours. Turnaround on specific components, like court records that require manual retrieval or verifications that depend on third-party response times, can vary. We surface result status in real time so you always know where a candidate stands.
PreSearch includes built-in adverse action workflows that walk you through every required step: pre-adverse notice, waiting period, and final notice. Each step is tracked with timestamps and logged for your records. When a background check returns a result that may affect a hiring decision, the platform prompts you through the process compliantly rather than leaving it to your team to manage manually.
Yes. OIG, SAM, OFAC, and other exclusion databases can be searched as a one-time pre-hire check through the National Criminal Scan (which includes these as database components) or ordered as standalone primary source searches. Ongoing monitoring is a separate enrollment that runs continuously after hire. Most healthcare compliance programs require both: a point-in-time check at hire and continuous monitoring thereafter.
Yes. PreSearch uses fully customizable role-based ordering, so you can define separate screening packages for employees, contractors, volunteers, and any other worker type your organization uses. Each role gets the right searches automatically, and nothing requires manual package selection at the time of order.
PreSearch automatically reconciles screening requirements to the state and role. When you place an order, the platform identifies what is required based on where the person will work and what they will do, not based on what you remember to add. You are not expected to track state-by-state rule changes yourself. The system handles it.
It depends entirely on the state. Some state repositories are updated directly from county courts in real time and provide coverage equivalent to individual county searches. Others have significant gaps and should only be used for flagging. We grade every state A through D so you know exactly what you are getting.
No contracts. No minimums. No setup fees. You pay only when screening activity occurs. Volume-based pricing is available for organizations with consistent high-volume needs, but that conversation happens after we have a clear picture of your program, not before.
