Background Check Steps
Before you can start your background check, you must first have your core credentials verified. This includes your Professional License, Identification and I-9.
Complete the MN DHS Background Study and Privacy Notice form in the 'My Documents' section of the ShiftMed app.
ShiftMed will process and verify your Background Check on the MN Department of Human Services website.
IMPORTANT: After your background check has been started, DHS will email out Consent and Disclosure Forms that must be completed. These forms must be completed within 14 days or the background check will be null and void.
If you have previously been fingerprinted
And you have a satisfactory result, ShiftMed will process your Background Check and update your profile to complete your background check credential.
If you have not been fingerprinted before
Or too much time has past since your last fingerprinting, MN Department of Human Services may determine that you need to be fingerprinted.
You will receive an email from IdentoGo your UE ID number and a link to use to schedule your fingerprinting appointment. The cost of the fingerprinting is estimated at $9.50.
You will need to notify ShiftMed when this has been completed by emailing bg@shiftmed.com
What Happens Next
Results are typically available within 7 - 10 business days
While processing, your Background Check credential will appear as "Pending" in the My Credentials section of the app.
Once Your Background Check is Complete
When we receive the final results, your profile and credential status will be updated automatically. You will then see this requirement marked as complete.
