Non-Licensed Health Care Employee Background Checks
The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information (BCII) is the sole provider of criminal history record background checks for non-licensed health care employees as required by Louisiana Revised Statute 40:1203.2.
Who Is Covered?
These requirements apply to non-licensed health care employees. They do not apply to hospital facility employees or licensed health care employees.
Background Check Requirements
Background checks include state and federal criminal history record checks. Federal criminal history checks require fingerprinting before the request is submitted to the FBI.

Health care providers seeking access to state and federal criminal history records must complete the following steps.
