No, you cannot bypass this step. Axxess CARE uses Checkr to complete background checks that require your social security number. The background check must be completed before you can apply for a visit.
Checkr runs a criminal background check based on the requirements of each state on any clinician that signs up for Axxess CARE. Items being checked include:
The electronic signature to authorize your background check is your first and last name as entered in the Basic Information section in the Axxess CARE app profile.
Axxess CARE does not store your social security number, making it completely secure. Your social security number is only used when processing your background check.
If your information is incorrect, your background check will be unsuccessful, and you will be prompted to re-enter your social security number. Once entered, you will be unable to edit the number until prompted.
Background checks are completed between 24 and 48 hours. When your background check is complete, you will be prompted to complete your profile before applying for visits.
If it has been over 48 hours and your background check has not been completed, Checkr may be waiting for additional information. Please check your email for further instructions from Checkr.
Once your background check is successfully completed, you will need to complete your profile information. Select any visit and then tap on Complete Profile to enter your personal information. Here you will input your credentials, experience, competencies, languages, pay requirements, visit distance and your own personal bio.
Axxess CARE does not require a drug test to apply for visits. However, every organization may have their own requirements for visit assignments.
