Medical Registries

Leverage the best resources to identify debarment, exclusion and sanction of your personnel. Don't leave it to chance.

Are you at risk?

Institutions not properly screening providers – medical and administrative – risk civil monetary penalties (CMP) in addition to billing and reimbursement denial and other civil litigation.

Here's what you can expect through accessing medical registries for your employment background check:

Some of our most in-demand searches are listed below. As some searches may provide overlapping access or may be best when supplemented by additional services, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your specific requirements! In addition to these searches, we also offer FACIS®* Level 1 thorough Level 3 – the Gold Standard for healthcare sanction screening.

OIG

The Office of the Inspector General maintains the List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE), giving employers the ability to verify applicants are free from restriction regarding Federal health care programs. Employment of restricted parties can result in heavy CMP and impact federal reimbursement. More information about the OIG Search can be found here.

DEA Registrant

By searching the Drug Enforcement Administration registrant database, Choice Screening will verify that your provider is registered to handle controlled substances. Penalties for organizations and providers not permitted by the DEA to manage controlled substances are severe and pose obvious safety risk to patients.

FDA

Clinical research integrity and regulatory requirements is often managed by searching for FDA disqualification and restriction. Similar FDA restriction can impact other drug applications and related activity simply due to participation, which violates regulatory compliance.

GSA, SAM and EPLS

The U.S. General Services Administration maintains a list of parties excluded from participation with or receiving federal contracts as well as some subcontracts, assistance or benefits. This includes the System for Awards Management (SAM), formerly referred to as the Excluded Parties Listing System (EPLS). Usually run in conjunction with the OIG Search, the GSA/SAM/EPLS Search is often used by employers to maintain federal compliance requirements.

OFAC

The Office of Foreign Assets Control, an arm of the U.S. Treasury, maintains lists of individuals and entities restricted from doing business with the United States. Often used to supplement other restriction lists such as DEA, this search helps employers identify high-risk candidates especially in the financial and medical industries.
