OIG Releases Updated Exclusions List - Be Sure To Check It Out!The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) posts a monthly update to its List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE), identifying individuals and entities excluded from participation in any federal health care program. The updated LEIE contains a list of all exclusions currently in effect. Long term care providers should routinely check the OIG's LEIE as federal law prohibits providers from employing or contracting with any individual or entity who is excluded from participation in federal health care programs (e.g., Medicare/Medicaid) for the provision of items or services for which payment may be made by those programs. A provider who employs or contracts with an excluded individual or entity in violation of the law is subject to the imposition of a civil monetary penalty by the OIG. Instructions for accessing either format can be found on the OIG website here. Questions? Listen to the OIG explain the LEIE at the archived Compliance Program Webinar here.
