First of all, what is the Health Care Clinic in Florida?
“Clinic” means an entity at which health care services are provided to individuals and which tenders charges for reimbursement for such services, including a mobile clinic and a portable equipment provider. “Mobile clinic” means a movable or detached self-contained health care unit within or from which direct health care services are provided to individuals and which otherwise meets the definition of a clinic. “Portable equipment provider” means an entity that contracts with or employs persons to provide portable equipment to multiple locations performing treatment or diagnostic testing of individuals that bills third-party payers for those services, and that otherwise meets the definition of a clinic.
The licensing of Health Care Clinics is regulated by AHCA, Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration.
The Level 2 Background Check for Health Care Clinics is required by AHCA and based on F.S. 400.991. Statute says that the agency shall require level 2 background screening for applicants and personnel of Health Care Clinic as required in s. 408.809(1)(e) pursuant to chapter 435 and s. 408.809.
Owner, Administrator, Financial Officer, Employees and Contractors Providing Personal Care or Services, Employees that have access to client property, funds or living areas must obtain the level 2 background screening clearance from AHCA for employment in Health Care Clinics.
The Legislature recognizes that there is a need to require the fingerprint based background check for the staff and administration of Health Care Clinics in Florida. Therefore, the Legislature deems it necessary in the interest of the public health to screen the staff of Health Care Clinics in this state.
