Exclusion Screening

Every provider that provides items or services that are reimbursed, in whole or in part, by a federal healthcare program is required to ensure the exclusion status of their employees, vendors, and contractors –

and the only way to fulfill that obligation is to affirmatively check, or “screen,” the Office of Inspector General’s List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (the LEIE).

Federal health care programs are defined broadly so that they include Medicare, Medicaid, CHIPs, TRICARE, and any other programs that receives any federal funding.

After it self-disclosed conduct to OIG, an assisted living facility in Minnesota agreed to pay $247,607.44 for allegedly violating the Civil Monetary Penalties Law.

OIG alleged that they employed an individual that it knew or should have known was excluded from participation in Federal health care programs.
