Why Exclusions Screening Matters
Providers excluded by the Office of Inspector General (OIG), or terminated by any State Medicaid Agency, or debarred from receiving federal contracts, grants, or financial assistance, cannot participate in federally funded healthcare programs.
This includes Medicaid, TRICARE, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Additionally, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has the authority to revoke billing privileges, prohibiting the provider from participating in Medicare.
Providers are liable for overpayments made for any items or services provided by any excluded person for which the provider received reimbursement from federal healthcare programs. Additionally, the provider may face Civil Monetary Penalties (CMP) if they fail to ensure that proper exclusion screening has been conducted.
Need to run a One-time Exclusion Screening
Upload your provider list, and we’ll screen it against OIG LEIE, SAM, state Medicaid exclusion lists, CMS Medicare Opt-out and Revoked Providers list, FDA debarments, and NPI deactivation list. Get a comprehensive screening report that helps you verify each provider’s exclusion status.
The $25 / 100 service returns a report showing which records matched and includes links to the primary source record for each exclusion found.
Why use One-time Exclusions Screening
Choose One-time Exclusions Screening for new provider onboarding, credentialing, vendor screening, periodic compliance checks, or an internal audit.
One-time Exclusion Screening is ideal for small organizations with a limited number of providers that want to verify exclusions and gather documented evidence themselves.
The Exclusions Report makes verifying exclusions much easier by including links to the exclusion primary source record on the reporting agency’s website for quick verification and for collecting documented evidence.
Between the Exclusion Report and your documented evidence from the agency website for each exclusion found, you are audit-ready.
Ideal for:
- New provider onboarding
- A compliance review
- An internal audit
- Credentialing
- Enrollment
- Vendor screening
- Contracting
- Periodic compliance checks
- A specific provider population
