Overview and Required Documentation:

  • Onboarding Process

    The onboarding process happens in four steps:

    1. The provider submits the required documentation and fills out the form. 

    2. The provider receives an email from SignNow with the completed list of documents to sign. 

    3. RitzFMS verifies that all documentation is correct and that the provider is legally allowed to work in the US. 

    4. RitzFMS will either run a background check, or, if a livescan is required, send the livescan documentation provided to the California Department of Developmental Services. 

    5. The California Department of Developmental Services reviews the livescan application and will either approve it or require additional information. Please note that approval times may vary and that RitzFMS has no control over approval times. 

    6. Once the background check or livescan application has cleared, then the provider is fully onboarded!
