Key Takeaways:
- Maintain patient safety standards
- Quickly identify OIG excluded individuals
- Mitigate federal reimbursement ineligibility risk
Individuals on the List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) are barred from participating in federal health care plans. Hiring these individuals may result in civil monetary penalties (CMP) as well as loss of reimbursement for services provided by the excluded individual.
Diligent employers will include the OIG search as part of their pre-employment background check and leverage it for ongoing employment background screening through Choice ReScreen. This search is appropriate for all healthcare organizations, including positions throughout the organization that could have an impact on billing and reimbursement in addition to patient safety.
