Clarification on Fingerprinting Process

On July 30, 2017, NCTracks will implement a federal requirement for providers designated as “high categorical risk” or any person with a 5 percent or more direct or indirect ownership interest in the organization to be fingerprinted.   Providers that are required to submit fingerprints will be notified via the NCTracks provider portal.

Providers must wait to be notified by NCTracks that they need to have fingerprints taken. A form will be generated by NCTracks with a unique case number. The case number on the form will ensure that the results from the fingerprinting can be matched to the provider application with NCTracks.

Fingerprinting done without the form generated by NCTracks, with a unique case number, will not be accepted to satisfy the fingerprinting requirement.

For more information about the fingerprinting requirement, refer to the July 2017 Medicaid Bulletin.
