Georgia maintains a separate Medicaid exclusion list, the Georgia OIG Exclusions List. Healthcare providers that operate in Georgia or that hire employees licensed in Georgia must screen this list alongside the federal OIG LEIE and GSA/SAM. Missing a state-level exclusion is treated under the same civil money penalty framework as missing a federal exclusion: overpayment liability, CMPs of up to $24,947 per violation, and potential False Claims Act exposure for retained overpayments.
This guide is a working reference to the Georgia Medicaid exclusion list: what it covers, how to access it, and how it fits into a federal-plus-state screening program. A more detailed practitioner playbook and enforcement history for this state are in development.
