Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Healthcare sanction screenings should be undertaken monthly to ensure compliance issues are caught before they escalate. While there is no specific federal requirement mandating monthly checks, the OIG List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) is updated monthly, and suppliers or employees can be added to exclusion lists at any time.
Working with an excluded individual or entity immediately presents a risk to your organization—regardless of when they were added to an exclusion list. Infrequent screening is, therefore, a major compliance liability and puts your organization at risk of penalties and reputational damage.
The consequences of working with excluded individuals or entities can be severe. Under 42 CFR 1003.102(a)(2), organizations can face civil monetary penalties of up to $10,000 for each service provided by a sanctioned individual or for each day they worked for your organization. Beyond direct fines, organizations risk exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid programs, loss of federal contracts, significant revenue loss, and lasting reputational damage.
These penalties can quickly accumulate to substantial amounts, making proactive sanction screening a critical investment in protecting your organization.
Healthcare organizations must navigate a complex landscape of federal and state exclusion databases. Essential lists include the OIG List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE), the General Services Administration’s System for Award Management (SAM), State Medicaid Exclusion Lists, the FDA Debarment List, the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) list, the DEA Administrative Action List, and the CMS Preclusion List.
Each database uses different identifiers and search capabilities, making comprehensive screening challenging. CRC’s sanction screening solution simplifies this process by providing batch search capabilities across all relevant federal and state databases in a single, efficient workflow.
Sanction screening complexity stems from several factors: databases use different identifiers (name, date of birth, SSN, NPI), many do not permit batch searching and require one name at a time, and investigating potential matches is difficult when government entities use different identifiers.
For organizations screening large employee, volunteer, and vendor populations, manually checking dozens of federal and state databases becomes an arduous, time-consuming task prone to human error. This is why the vast majority of healthcare organizations partner with specialized vendors like CRC, whose automated tools enable batch searching across all required databases while our expert team handles investigation and verification of potential matches at a fraction of in-house costs.
Our screening tool enables users to access search results directly within the platform; you can then generate and export a complete report. Results are documented and saved within the database. Activity within the platform can also be easily tracked and reported on at a monthly cadence.
These features make both compliance documentation and regulatory reporting simple, giving users full transparency of the screening process.
Our full-service sanction screening tool allows you to submit names directly within the platform. This helps to accelerate the process and reduce complexity—saving your team and effort.
No, our platform saves all screening searches—and the tool will notify you if a name is flagged and requires validation. This makes it easier to maintain monthly screening in line with the LEIE’s update cadence.
