The Exclusion Screening Difference
Exclusion Screening, LLC™ (or ExSc) was co-founded by Paul Weidenfeld and Robert Liles to offer providers a simple, low-cost option to meet their Federal and State exclusion screening obligations. Nationally recognized healthcare lawyers and former National Healthcare Fraud Co-Ordinator’s for the DOJ, Paul and Robert’s background in healthcare and their understanding of the issues inform the ExSc approach and are a critical part of the Exclusion Screening difference!
Who We Are and What We Do
What is an OIG Exclusion?
An OIG exclusion is a definitive administrative action that can be taken by the OIG or state Medicaid programs. It is imposed when an individual or entity is deemed to pose a significant risk to patient safety or program integrity. Consequently, federal programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE will not reimburse services provided by excluded parties, either directly or indirectly.
Risks and penalties for failing to screen
Federal healthcare program providers must verify that their employees, contractors, and vendors are not on the OIG exclusion list. Failing to perform this due diligence can lead to substantial financial penalties. As of March 17, 2022, the OIG can impose civil monetary penalties of up to $22,427 per item or service provided by an excluded individual or entity. Claims involving excluded parties can also raise False Claims Act issues under the Affordable Care Act if not addressed promptly and properly. Regular screening helps ensure compliance and protects against significant legal and financial risks.
