Sex Offender Screen
Last updated: June 11, 2026
Please refer to this training video for the Sex Offender Screen:
Exacare automatically runs its sex offender checks using the referal's Full Name and Date of Birth. Exacare uses Offenders.io to cross-reference this information against federal and state-level sex offender registries.
Note: If the sex offender registry has not recorded the Date of Birth (DOB) for a given name, exacare will only match on a Full Name basis, which may lead to more matches.
Finding the Sex Offender Screen
Click the Screener tool in your navigation bar to view your referrals.
Select the Patient Referral you want to review.
Click on the Sex Offender Screen tab.
