Common questions
- How do I verify a healthcare license in Ohio?
- Verify with the Ohio board that issued the license. This directory lists 3 Ohio licensing lookups, including Ohio Nurse Aid Registry, Ohio Nurse Aid Registry - Abuse List, and Ohio Professional Licensing. Pick the board for the provider's profession; each entry links to the board's own verification page.
- Does Ohio publish a Medicaid exclusion list?
- Yes. Ohio Medicaid Exclusion List is the state list. Check it alongside the federal OIG LEIE and SAM.gov, since state exclusions are not always reflected in the federal lists.
- Does Ohio require a separate controlled substance registration?
- This directory does not list a separate Ohio controlled substance registration lookup. Prescribers there operate under the federal DEA registration; confirm current requirements with the state board of pharmacy.
- Where do providers enroll in Ohio Medicaid?
- Ohio Department of Medicaid is the state's provider enrollment portal. Medicaid enrollment is separate from commercial payer enrollment and from Medicare enrollment through PECOS.
