[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 68 (Thursday, April 9, 1998)] [Notices] [Pages 17431-17435] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-9371] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Office of Inspector General Program Exclusions: March 1998 AGENCY: Office of Inspector General, HHS. ACTION: Notice of program exclusions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- During the month of March 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 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.
