What Is Sanctions and Exclusions Monitoring?
What is sanctions and exclusions monitoring? Sanctions and exclusions monitoring is the recurring check across federal and state databases for any clinician on the practice roster who has been excluded from federal healthcare programs (OIG LEIE), debarred from federal contracts (SAM.gov), or excluded from a state Medicaid program. CMS requires monthly checks. OIG penalties for billing under an excluded provider start at $10K per item. Outsourced through Staffingly, the sweep runs daily, not monthly.
Staffingly’s Sanctions and Exclusions Monitoring service runs daily checks across OIG LEIE (List of Excluded Individuals/Entities), SAM.gov (System for Award Management), all 50 state Medicaid exclusion lists, and NPDB (National Practitioner Data Bank). The dedicated credentialing analyst reviews any hit, confirms the match against the practice’s actual provider, and routes for immediate action.
Most practices run sanctions checks monthly, which leaves a 30-day window where billing under a newly excluded provider exposes the practice to OIG civil monetary penalties. Staffingly’s daily sweep closes that window. The cost difference between monthly and daily monitoring is far less than a single OIG penalty notice.
Most groups pair sanctions and exclusions monitoring with recredentialing, primary source verification, and NCQA credentialing file build to keep panel coverage continuous.
What you need to know about sanctions and exclusions monitoring
Staffingly’s sanctions and exclusions monitoring runs daily across OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, all 50 state Medicaid exclusion lists, and NPDB. Hits routed for immediate action.
Monthly monitoring leaves a 30-day exposure window. Daily monitoring closes it. The cost difference is a fraction of a single OIG civil monetary penalty notice.
Most practices go live in 14 days. Days 1-2 we baseline every provider against every list. By day 14 the daily sweep is operational.
Why is sanctions and exclusions monitoring so hard for most practices?
OIG civil monetary penalties for billing under an excluded provider start at $10K per item billed and can reach $50K with treble damages. SAM.gov debarment exposes federal contract participation. State Medicaid exclusions affect MCO panel eligibility. Most practices run sanctions checks monthly, which means a provider could be excluded for 29 days before the practice notices. That is 29 days of potentially penalized billing.
