OIG Screening is an important compliance process for all healthcare organizations to ensure employees either an employee, contractor or vendor, have not been excluded from participation in federally funded health care programs. The Office of Inspector General (OIG), maintains the LEIE- List of Excluded Individuals/Entities- that show individuals or entities who have been or are excluded from federally funded health care programs due to fraud, abuse, or violation. OIG Compliance Screening, when conducted routinely protects health care providers from sanctions, protects patient safety and protects the integrity of the health care provider. Automated OIG Screening solutions provide organizations, up-to-date exclusion lists monitoring, automate compliance workflows and help ensure the staff is in compliance with all applicable federal and state regulatory compliance. OIG screening compliance protects healthcare organizations and providers from financial consequences and allows providers to demonstrate to patients they are ethical and trustworthy.
