Subject: [Histonet] background checks required by AHCA

I am currently filing out my ahca renewal application. There are many
changes and the form and I do not find it user friendly. Anyways here my
question: Medical directors and chief finicial officers or any person
who stands to gain profit must undergo a level 2 background screeening.
On the new app is states all empolyees and health care providers. I
called acha licensing division and they said only directors and so
forth. But, on ahca website statue 408(something, ill have to get exact
number) when into effect in 2010 that says all employees and newly hired
employees must underground background screening. So does all the arnp,
pa, ht, and ma's need to be screened because we have a lab?

Employees and Contractors employed before August 1, 2010

Every employee/contractor must attest to meeting the requirements of
this chapter and agreeing to inform the employer immediately if arrested
for any of the disqualifying offenses while employed by the employer.
[Section 435.05(2)]. This attestation must be maintained in the
employee's personnel file. You may use the Affidavit of Compliance with
Background Screening to satisfy the attestation requirement.

If an employer becomes aware that an employee/contractor has been
arrested for a disqualifying offense, the employer must remove the
employee/contractor from contact with any vulnerable person that places
the employee/contractor in a role that requires background screening
until the arrest is resolved in a way that the employer determines that
the employee/contractor is still eligible for employment/contracting
under this chapter. [Section 435.06(2)(b)]
