12/13 - Background Check Paper Applications No Longer Accepted After 12/15/2021
- 11/26 Update: Post-Cyberattack Background Check Application Processing
-
NABCS has been approved for use, but providers/agencies must follow the instructions to get whitelisted by December 15, 2021; after that date, paper applications will no longer be accepted. To begin the whitelisting process, providers/agencies must complete a NABCS Provider Access Request Form and submit it to bcp.access.requests@alaska.gov.
- Although NABCS is available for use by whitelisted providers, paper applications received since the cyberattack are not yet viewable in NABCS; the Division of Health Care Services has temporarily increased staffing to assist in entering these paper applications into NABCS.
- Despite the tireless efforts of the HCS Background Check Team, the processing currently exceeds 15 days and will likely continue to exceed 15 days until all providers are whitelisted and input of paper applications into NABCS is complete.
- Background Check Interim Process: Effective May 24, 2021
- Opioid Training/CEU Opportunity for Prescribing Providers
New Alaska legislation requires a minimum of two hours of continuing education in pain management, opioid use, and addiction for prescribing providers. For information on applicable courses, view the Opioid and Pain Management training flyers on the Enterprise Provider Messages and Announcements page.
