Wiki Question about background checks

[kjoynt]

Hi.

I will be doing billing for a southern california physical therapy office. We are looking to find a way to do background checks, mostly to find people who have given an incorrect address or phone number.

Has anyone used a service like this in their job? Do you have recommendations of what to look for, or are they all basically the same? Do you have specific recommendations of any business you have had success with personally?

Thanks so much,
Katie

Not sure how big your company is but I go through the state police website after the employee fills out a form and normally I can get the results within seconds.

Hope this helps

It sounds more like the poster was referring to confirming patient info vs actual background check and/or employee background check. I'm just going based off the "mostly to find people who have given an incorrect address or phone number." Although if it was an employee background check, I don't know if the state police search would be sufficient. Is that a national and local background check? Are you also checking the OIG exclusion list?
