Thank you for serving as a LiveScan vendor for health care employees and providers.  To provide some background, health care providers/facilities licensed by the AHCA are required as of August 1, 2010 to screen most employees and contractors for Level 2 (state and federal fingerprint criminal background checks) and determine if the person has an “eligible” criminal history prior to beginning employment.  All screening by AHCA licensure must be submitted electronically either through LiveScan or scanning a hard card (converting the card to an electronic submission to FDLE).

AHCA Screening Process
Providers submit electronic prints to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for processing (typically through a vendor) – it is critical that the fingerprint submission is accompanied by the following information for the person screened.  Failure to submit this information may result in the provider’s inability to obtain screening results:

Full Name
Address (the individual’s address is needed for the Agency to make contact if necessary)
Social Security Number (We require the SSN in order to provide a unique identifier for releasing screening results)
Date of Birth
Race
Sex
Height
Weight
Employer Name
Employer Address

We have asked the providers, third party vendors and health care contractors to provide an AHCA # when submitting a screening.  This helps us identify the potential employer in the event we need to communicate an employee’s disqualification. 

The above links will take you to downloadable spreadsheets containing the “AHCA #” for each licensed health care and durable medical equipment provider and all registered third party vendors and health care contractors that may send individuals to LiveScan sites for Level 2 screenings for the Agency for Health Care Administration.
