Cisive, a global background screening provider headquartered in Holtsville, NY, acquired PreCheck, a background screening, compliance monitoring and credentialing solutions provider to the healthcare industry.

Founded in 1983, Houston-based PreCheck has focused exclusively on the healthcare industry since 1993. It provides services to more than 4,000 hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, educational institutions, and other ancillary healthcare organizations nationwide.

“The acquisition of PreCheck represents a great opportunity for Cisive to expand its expertise in the healthcare industry and enhances PreCheck’s ability to advance in the global healthcare market,” President and CEO James Owens said.

The acquisition follows Cisive’s purchase in November of Hong Kong-based Blue Umbrella's pre-employment screening division.
