Exclusion screening is the federal and state compliance obligation to verify that healthcare employees, vendors, and contractors are not barred from participating in Medicare, Medicaid, or other federally-funded programs. Every healthcare provider that bills a federal program is required to screen upon hire and monthly thereafter against the OIG LEIE, GSA/SAM, and all 44 state Medicaid exclusion lists. Failure to screen exposes providers to civil money penalties of up to $24,947 per violation, overpayment liability, and potential False Claims Act exposure. This section of the site is the definitive hub for exclusion screening compliance: the pillar guides, state-by-state requirements, enforcement trends, and the regulatory framework explained by the former federal prosecutors who built it.
