Florida Healthcare Providers Alert

House Bill 975, Background Screening and Certifications, passed during the 2024 Legislative Session, establishing background screening requirements for health care professions regulated by the Florida Department of Health, Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA).

The background screening process takes time due to multiple required steps and processing.   Waiting too long will result in licensing delays or expiration.
