OIG Exclusion
Definition
An OIG exclusion means a person or entity has been barred by the U.S. Office of Inspector General from participating in federal healthcare programs, and appears on the LEIE list.
Why it matters operationally
Employing or contracting with an excluded party can carry significant penalties. Screening must be continuous, with dated evidence of each check.
Example
A clinic screens a new billing vendor against the OIG LEIE before granting system access.
