Medical Licensing and Certification: Nurse Aide Registry

Scam targeting U.S. Bank customers

DHS is aware of an organized impersonation scam that targets U.S. Bank customers. Impersonators are contacting customers by phone, posing as representatives from the U.S. Bank Fraud Department. They may claim issues with recently initiated wire transfers. The DHS DQA Provider Portal uses U.S. Bank for the payment of fees. Please be aware of this impersonation scam if you are paying fees through the DHS DQA Provider Portal.

The Wisconsin Nurse Aide Registry includes all state-certified nurse aides.
