Exclusion screening

Exclusion screening checks regularly employees contractors, vendors, and other persons or entities against state and federal exclusion lists, like the OIG's List Of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) and the state Medicaid list of exclusions. This ensures that healthcare institutions don't employ or conduct business with entities that are barred from participation in federally funded programs because of fraud, abuse, or criminal conduct. Exclusion screening is a crucial part of compliance programs that help companies avoid costly penalties, reputational damage, and legal ramifications.
