Quickly search OIG Exclusions, SAM Exclusions, and all State Exclusions Lists at once, greatly simplifying your monthly Exclusions Monitoring and Screening requirements.
Providers excluded by the OIG or terminated by a State Medicaid Agency 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) can 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.
HealthProviders DB is an extensive healthcare provider and exclusions database featuring over 9 million comprehensive Healthcare Provider Profiles.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) List of Excluded Individuals & Entities (LEIE) is imported monthly as it becomes available, so the Healthcare Provider Profiles are always up to date.
