Background Checks
For a fully comprehensive search we always recommend using the National Criminal Database only as a supplement to county court records.
- Online data entry through the Occuscreen secure website
- QuickApp process (electronic applicant Disclosure and Authorization form)
- Faxing the Disclosure and Authorization directly to Occuscreen.
- County Criminal Court Searches – Clerk-assisted searches, archived records in certain counties, court closures or furloughs
- Verifications – Not receiving return calls from Employers and/or schools being closed due to holidays.
- Additional information might be needed in some instances to confirm records and/or confirm information uncovered on a report.
If your background check is still pending after three business days, and there is no ETA written in the client notes section of the report on our website, you can email operations@occuscreen.com, provide the file number and request an ETA. We will then email you an ETA as soon as it has been received.
Drug Screening
If positive results are sent through the Medical Review process, an additional 24-72 hours will be required for the MRO to contact you to confirm the result as positive or negative (due to a valid medical explanation.)
If the information does not match, the positive result will stand. Some states require a medical review for every drug screen, positive and negative, or just for positive results. If you do not live in an MRO – required state, you have the option to send positive results through review. Standard turnaround time for an MRO is 24-72 hours. For additional information, go to our Medical Review Officer page.
- The specimen is collected onsite through a simple and dignified process and shipped via FedEx to the laboratory for analysis
- Collections are witnessed
- Although accuracy levels are similar to a urine test (when lab-analyzed), detection windows are shorter, even for marijuana.
