OIG sanctions report

Protect your health care organization, patients and staff with this critical search. Find out which candidates are on the Office of the Inspector General’s (OIG) sanctions list of individuals and entities excluded from Medicare, Medicaid and all federal health care programs. The search details if a candidate is on the exclusion list for one of the following reasons:

  • Program-related fraud (eg: Medicare/Medicaid)

  • Patient abuse

  • Licensing board action

  • Default on health education assistance loans

Many healthcare organizations choose to retrieve updated OIG reports annually or even twice a year, to ensure compliance and protect funds.

We offer an easy way to update background checks. Send us a spreadsheet with the required information for the staff you need to check, and we will quickly process a “bulk” order.

Frequently asked questions

The OIG report is the most commonly requested search on existing health care staff. Facilities often choose to get updated reports annually or biannually. This is a small investment to ensure compliance.

Yes. The OIG report is included in the FACIS® health care sanctions search. You can order the OIG search independently based on your organization’s needs. This option is ideal for required update searches on current staff.

Organizations that employ sanctioned individuals may be forced to return all federal funds received from these programs going back to the date the person became employed. The OIG report is an inexpensive preventative measure against losing federal funding.

Identify potential cases of fraud and abuse.

We can help you check for your candidates and employees on the OIG exclusions list.
