Nationwide Program for National and State Background Checks for Direct Patient Access Employees of Long Term Care Facilities and Providers
The Centers for Medicare &Medicaid Services (CMS) is inviting proposals from States and U. S. territories to be considered for inclusion in the legislatively mandated National Background Check Program.
CMS is conducting a nationwide program that will identify efficient, effective and economical procedures for long term care facilities and providers to conduct background checks on prospective direct patient/resident access employees.
Eligible facilities and providers include skilled nursing facilities, nursing facilities, home health agencies, hospice care providers, long-term care hospitals, personal care service providers, adult day care providers, residential care providers, assisted living facilities, intermediate facilities for the mentally retarded (ICFs/MR) and other entities that provide long-term care services, as specified by each participating State.
The State Office of the Governor, State Medicaid Agency, or the State Survey Agency may apply for funding under this grant opportunity.
CMS will accept only one application per State; therefore we encourage State offices and agencies to work collaboratively to develop one application packet when deemed appropriate.
If more than one application is received for one State, CMS reserves the right to determine which application to select.
State Notices of Intent to Apply and complete Grant Applications due dates are listed in the timetable on page 4 of this document.
Successful applicants will receive a Notice of Award (NOA) signed and dated by the CMS Grant Management Officer via the U. S. Postal Service approximately 60 days after each application review period.
Grantees will receive funding through a 36-month project/budget period.
