The Office of Inspector General (OIG) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) prohibits payment from Medicare and Medicaid to excluded providers and levies hefty fines and monetary penalties upon healthcare providers for non-compliance. As a best practice, the OIG recommends monthly screening of all employees, contractors, referring physicians, and vendors against the federal List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) and all state Medicaid registries to identify any excluded individuals or entities currently barred from participating in Medicare and Medicaid.
Healthcare providers who fail to conduct on-going monthly screenings are deemed to have “known or should have known”, of the excluded party’s barred status and are subject to fines, penalties, and even exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid if they employ or do business with any excluded individuals or entities.
ExclusionALERT™ provides much needed peace of mind for our clients offering 100% guaranteed OIG/CMS compliance with all federally-mandated exclusion search requirements backed up by our exclusive SANCTION SHIELD™ liability protection against fines and monetary penalties!
