Presently, companies and organizations licensed to operate in Florida by AHCA are required to perform routine background checks on applicants for employment and existing employees.  AHCA reviews all background screening results to determine whether a person is “Eligible” or “Not Eligible” for employment in Florida.  A health care provider may not hire a new employee until a final screening determination of “Eligibility” has been made or the individual is “Not Eligible,”  but has been granted an “Exemption from Disqualification”  from AHCA or DOH.

We look forward to seeing you there for a lively and informative seminar!

Also visit us at Booth # 501 at the Tradeshow Exhibitor Hall!  We will be there to answer questions and provide information.
