HCA is a cabinet-level agency within the Washington State executive branch and governed by chapter 41.05 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). HCA is the largest purchaser of health care services in Washington State through its administration of the PEBB, SEBB, and Apple Health (Medicaid) Programs. 

HCA employs roughly sixteen hundred (1,600) employees.

The HCA performs Criminal Background Check Services to screen employment candidates, interns, and volunteers on an “as-needed” basis. Due to migrating populations throughout the United States, conducting a Washington State-based Criminal Background Check is no longer practicable. Therefore, HCA requires a Criminal Background Check solution to provide results from locations throughout all fifty states. 

HCA estimates it will require approximate thirty-five (35) to forty-five (45) Criminal Background Check reports per month.
