Medicaid Sanctions

What are Medicaid Sanctions?

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.

It should not be viewed as a complete criminal background search.
