North Dakota maintains a separate Medicaid exclusion list, the ND Medicaid Fraud/Abuse Sanctions. Healthcare providers that operate in North Dakota or that hire employees licensed in North Dakota 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 North Dakota 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.
