Most Common Questions
Exclusion lists are critical tools used by both state and federal agencies to maintain the integrity of their operations, particularly in the healthcare sector. At the federal level, the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) maintains the List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) who are barred from participating in federally funded healthcare programs due to past offenses, such as fraud or misconduct. For example, a healthcare provider found guilty of Medicare fraud might find themselves on the OIG's exclusion list, effectively preventing them from directly or indirectly receiving payment from federal healthcare programs. Similarly, the System for Award Management (SAM) notes exclusions and& sanctions that, while broader, can also impact the healthcare sector by identifying entities and individuals prohibited from receiving federal contracts.
At the state level, exclusion monitoring is equally stringent, with most states maintaining its own exclusion list(s) tailored to their specific healthcare programs such as Medicaid. These state-level lists might include healthcare professionals who have had their licenses revoked due to malpractice, unethical behavior, or drug diversion. For instance, a pharmacist involved in the illegal distribution of prescription drugs in one state could be placed on that state's exclusion list, barring them from participating in state-funded healthcare programs. It's crucial to understand that beyond the well-known OIG and SAM databases, there are many other exclusion lists managed by various state agencies, each designed to protect the integrity of healthcare services by preventing individuals and entities with a history of non-compliance from participating in state and federally funded healthcare programs.
The risks and consequences of failing to conduct accurate and regular exclusion searches are significant and multifaceted. Firstly, employing or contracting with an excluded individual or entity can lead to severe financial penalties. For example, healthcare providers face repayment obligations and substantial fines for each item or service provided by an excluded party that paid by a federal healthcare program. This can amount to millions of dollars in fines, depending on the volume of services billed. .
Secondly, beyond the immediate financial penalties, the reputational damage to an organization found to be non-compliant can be long-lasting and far-reaching. The trust of patients, partners, and the general public can be eroded, leading to a loss of business and an uphill battle to rebuild the organization's image. Additionally, the presence of excluded individuals within an organization can compromise the quality of care and safety of patients, leading to adverse health outcomes and further legal liabilities.
In summary, exclusion list screening through diligent exclusion monitoring and exclusion searches is a crucial risk management practice. It protects organizations from financial penalties, legal complications, reputational damage, and, most importantly, safeguards patient care and the integrity of healthcare programs.
