Are you aware of the gaps in your exclusion monitoring process?
We automate ongoing exclusion monitoring for every population across all federal and state lists.
The Law
In accordance with Sections 1128 and 1156 of the Social Security Act, HHS OIG mandates that healthcare organizations do not hire or do business with “excluded or sanctioned” individuals or entities.
Providers who participate in federal healthcare programs must monitor federal and state exclusion sources to avoid fines and penalties.
State Reporting
Performance Standard 8(f) requires all states to report pertinent information on the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) convictions to OIG within 30 days of sentencing. In 2018, the average time for a state exclusion to make it to the OIG LEIE was 173 days.
Today, 43 states publish exclusion records, but each state updates at different times and in multiple data formats, making it difficult to keep track of excluded providers from each state.
Fines and Penalties
Civil Monetary Penalties enforced by the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) or False Claim allegations by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) can result in more than $20,000 per false claim or statement, plus treble damages.
The average penalty for employing or contracting an excluded person in 2018 was $126,738. Read the latest published Civil Monetary Penalties.
Exclusion Sources
Today, there are two federal exclusion sources (OIG LEIE and GSA/SAM) and 43 state Medicaid Exclusion/Terminated Provider Lists. Federal and state exclusion lists combined contain more than 200,000 individuals or entities.
The complexity of finding, managing, and analyzing inefficient and incomplete government data creates risk for your organization if you are not utilizing an effective automated monitoring solution. Our team provides you with data confidence and support each step of the way.

OIG Exclusion Monitoring FAQ
An exclusion is an administrative action taken against an individual or entity by the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG) or a State Medicaid Agency.
OIG imposes exclusions under the authority of sections 1128 and 1156 of the Social Security Act. If an individual or entity is excluded, they are prohibited from participating in reimbursements for or from federally funded healthcare programs through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Once an individual or entity is excluded, they are considered excluded in all states.
Healthcare organization who bill federal and state healthcare programs should be checking both federal and state Medicaid exclusion lists. The two federal exclusion sources are OIG LEIE and the SAM.gov database.
There are currently 43 state Medicaid excluded/sanctioned/terminated provider lists. Each list is updated and distributed at different intervals and in various formats, making it difficult to verify and screen without a third party.
Your healthcare organization should be checking for exclusions/sanctions monthly (at a minimum) across all populations, including providers, referring physicians, vendors and owners, and more. Because state Medicaid exclusion lists are updated at different times, it is best practice to monitor all exclusion sources continually. Our team is monitoring for new updates from each exclusion source on a daily basis and delivers real-time updates to all of our customers.
Exclusion data is messy, incomplete, and varies greatly by source. Our verification tools use sorting algorithms and advanced data grouping to make a more complete profile for providers, employees, healthcare vendors, and more which is not present on government databases or registries. ProviderTrust maintains a proprietary grid of excluded individuals and entities that enhances state and federal exclusion data with additional unique identifiers and additional information (such as license number, NPI, former names, etc.).
