DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Office of Inspector General
Program Exclusions: January 1998
AGENCY: Office of Inspector General, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of program exclusions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
During the month of January 1998, the HHS Office of Inspector
General imposed exclusions in the cases set forth below. When an
exclusion is imposed, no program payment is made to anyone for any
items or services (other than an emergency item or service not provided
in a hospital emergency room) furnished, ordered or prescribed by an
excluded party under
[[Page 8999]]
the Medicare, Medicaid, and all Federal Health Care programs. In
addition, no program payment is made to any business or facility, e.g.,
a hospital, that submits bills for payment for items or services
provided by an excluded party. Program beneficiaries remain free to
decide for themselves whether they will continue to use the services of
an excluded party even though no program payments will be made for
items and services provided by that excluded party. The exclusions have
national effect and also apply to all Executive Branch procurement and
non-procurement programs and activities.
