Medicaid Sanctions

Medicaid Sanctions Search
Medicaid Sanctions are levied on individuals who have misused funds or who have fraudulently obtained assistance from Medicaid, Medicare, or any federally funded health care program. Applicants with sanctions are excluded from participating in Medicaid, Medicare, childcare, social services, and ALL federal health care programs. A Medicaid Sanctions Search checks to see if an applicant has such sanctions.

Medicaid Sanctions are sometimes referred to as Medicare Sanctions or OIG Excluded Parties List.
Why Do Medicaid Sanctions Searches
Applicants with Medicaid Sanctions are excluded from participating in Medicaid, Medicare, childcare, social services, and ALL federally funded health care programs. A Medicaid Sanctions search is an essential part of any background check for applicants/employees involved in any of these functions.

What are the Sources for Medicaid Sanctions Searches?
We search the Office of Inspector General's Exclusions Database, which is updated every 30 days.

What are the Weaknesses of a Medicaid Sanctions Search?
As with all database searches, the Medicaid Sanctions search is incomplete by nature. It is only as reliable as its last update. A Medicaid Sanctions search also only provides information on individuals who have misused funds or who have fraudulently obtained assistance from Medicaid, Medicare, or any federally funded health care program. It should not be viewed as a complete criminal background search.

How Long Does it Take for a Medicaid Sanctions Search?
A Medicaid Sanctions search should be available for viewing within one business day of the order date.

What is Our Recommendation for Medicaid Sanctions Searches?
Because applicants with sanctions are excluded from participating in any Medicaid, Medicare, childcare, social services or federally funded health care program, a Medicaid Sanctions search is a must for all employees in related functions.
