Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ohio require FBI fingerprinting for home health aides?
Standard ODH home health aide checks require BCI only. FBI is required if you also need federal agency clearance (e.g., for a CMS-certified Medicare/Medicaid provider). Ask your agency which applies to you.
I work for two home health agencies. Do I need separate checks?
Yes. Each agency has its own ORI, and the background check belongs to the requesting agency. You can do both ORIs in one visit to save time.
