RELIABLE, EFFECTIVE OIG SEARCHES TO PROTECT YOUR ORGANIZATION

This search utilizes the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG)’s List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE). This process also includes the General Services Administration (GSA)’s System for Award Management (SAM) to identify individuals, as well as entities excluded from Federally funded healthcare programs. Any exclusion record information is reported in compliance with Federal, State, Municipal, and FCRA Credit Reporting Agency Reportability.

A Healthcare Sanction Check is a tool for providing insight into a healthcare professional’s medical background. It searches more than 1,000 government sources for any penalties, suspensions, or punitive or disciplinary actions taken against a healthcare professional.

Use OIG Searches to Maintain Regulatory Compliance

Healthcare organizations must follow OIG guidance when hiring medical professionals. Individuals who have sanctions against them are excluded from federal program participation. They may have one of the following criminal histories that put them on the exclusion list:

  • Abuse or neglect of patients in their care
  • Medicare or medical-related fraud convictions
  • Felonious record involving illegal distribution, manufacture, dispensing or prescribing of controlled drugs
  • Felonies on their record involving theft and/or fraud incidents in the healthcare field
