Frequently asked questions
Why is OIG/LEIE monitoring required for healthcare?
HHS OIG requires healthcare entities that participate in federal healthcare programs to screen employees, contractors, and vendors against the LEIE before hire and then monthly thereafter. An excluded party on payroll can trigger denied claims, civil monetary penalties, and program exclusion for the employer.
What's the difference between OIG LEIE and SAM.gov?
OIG LEIE lists individuals and entities excluded from participation in federal healthcare programs (Medicare, Medicaid, etc.). SAM.gov lists entities debarred from federal contracts and grants generally. Many healthcare and federally-funded employers need both. SAM.gov also covers OFAC sanctions and export control restrictions.
How often should I re-screen existing employees?
CMS and OIG guidance calls for monthly re-screening of all employees, contractors, and vendors against the LEIE. Continuous monitoring automates this so you are never more than 30 days stale on any list.
Do you cover state Medicaid exclusion lists?
Yes. We aggregate every state Medicaid exclusion list, plus FDA debarment, DEA revocations, TRICARE, and OFAC sanctions. Your screening template can include as many or as few lists as your compliance policy requires.
What happens when a potential match is found?
A specialist reviews the match before it alerts you. We compare date of birth, SSN (if available on the list), middle name, address history, and other identifiers to rule out false positives on common names. Only confirmed matches generate an employer alert.
