TRICARE-Compliant Background Screening
Meeting Department of Defense requirements for autism care providers.
TRICARE, the healthcare program serving military members, retirees, and their families, mandates strict background screening requirements for providers participating in the Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration program. As of July 1, 2021, the Department of Defense updated its Criminal History Background Check (CHBC) policy, requiring all Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) providers and autism caregivers to undergo comprehensive background screening before delivering services to TRICARE beneficiaries.
What TRICARE Background Checks Require
The TRICARE Operations Manual outlines specific screening components that providers must complete to maintain compliance. These requirements include a nationwide criminal records search, a check of the sex offender registry (SOR) across all 50 states, and verification through relevant state and county databases. Some states require additional screening fees due to their specific reporting requirements. National Crime Search offers custom TRICARE-compliant background check solutions specifically designed to meet these federally mandated standards, ensuring providers can quickly and efficiently satisfy all DOD requirements.
Our screening process is built to handle the unique complexities of TRICARE compliance. We understand that autism care providers need fast turnaround times to begin serving military families, and our advanced technology delivers comprehensive results without unnecessary delays. Each background check is conducted in accordance with the guidelines established in the TRICARE Policy Manual, giving you confidence that your organization meets all federal requirements.
