What is an OIG Exclusion Check? Here's What You Need to Know.
In today's high-stakes healthcare environment, compliance isn't just about following rules – it's about protecting your organization's very foundation. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) maintains the List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE), the definitive database of providers and entities barred from federal healthcare programs. Understanding and utilizing this resource effectively isn't optional – it's essential for your organization's survival.
Why Are OIG Exclusion Checks Essential? Let's Be Clear.
An OIG exclusion check serves as your organization's shield against devastating compliance breaches. This sophisticated screening process reveals far more than standard background checks, identifying individuals and entities prohibited from participating in federal healthcare programs. When you conduct these checks, you're not just verifying eligibility – you're protecting your organization from individuals who've committed serious infractions, from Medicare fraud to patient abuse.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Hiring an excluded individual doesn't just create a compliance issue – it can trigger severe penalties that impact your entire operation. Organizations found employing excluded parties face substantial civil monetary penalties and may lose their ability to bill federal healthcare programs entirely. In today's healthcare landscape, such restrictions can effectively end an organization's ability to operate.
Individuals and entities may be excluded from the OIG list for offenses such as:
-
Medicare/Medicaid fraud convictions
-
Patient abuse or neglect charges
-
License revocations related to healthcare misconduct
-
Other program-related crimes or disciplinary actions
The OIG Exclusion list is updated monthly. In addition to searching the OIG Exclusion list, medical organizations should also be searching the General Services Administration (GSA) and each state’s OMIG.
