Sanctions
Ensuring Compliance and Protecting Patients
At INSTAHIRE, we understand the critical importance of maintaining the highest standards in the healthcare industry. Our comprehensive healthcare sanctions checks are designed to help healthcare organizations ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, protect patients, and maintain the integrity of their services.
What is a Healthcare Sanctions Check?
A healthcare sanctions check is a thorough screening process used to identify any disciplinary actions, exclusions, or sanctions imposed on individuals or entities in the healthcare industry by federal or state regulatory bodies. These checks are crucial for verifying the eligibility and compliance of healthcare providers, employees, and organizations.
Key Components of Our Sanctions Checks
OIG Exclusions List
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) maintains a list of individuals and entities excluded from participating in federally funded healthcare programs due to fraud, abuse, or other misconduct. Our checks include thorough screening against this list to ensure compliance with federal standards.
SAM Exclusions List
The System for Award Management (SAM) database includes individuals and entities excluded from receiving federal contracts, subcontracts, and certain types of federal financial and non-financial assistance and benefits. INSTAHIRE's sanctions checks include detailed searches of this database to identify any exclusions.
State Medicaid Exclusions
Individual states maintain their own lists of excluded providers banned from participating in state Medicaid programs. Our comprehensive checks cover all state-level exclusion lists to ensure thorough compliance and eligibility verification.
Global Searches
In today's interconnected world, ensuring compliance extends beyond national borders. INSTAHIRE conducts global searches to include international databases, ensuring that healthcare providers meet global standards and regulations. This includes verifying information from international regulatory bodies and sanctions lists.
Abuse Registries
INSTAHIRE screens against various abuse registries to identify any individuals who have been involved in abusive practices. This is crucial for protecting vulnerable populations and maintaining trust in healthcare services.
Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC)
The OFAC administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals. Our checks include screening against the OFAC list to ensure that healthcare providers comply with U.S. sanctions regulations.
National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB)
The NPDB is a repository of reports containing information on medical malpractice payments and certain adverse actions related to healthcare practitioners, providers, and suppliers. INSTAHIRE includes NPDB searches in our sanctions checks to provide a comprehensive view of a practitioner's history and compliance status.
Professional License Verification
Ensuring that healthcare providers are properly licensed is crucial. Our sanctions checks include verifying the status of professional licenses with relevant state licensing boards to ensure that they are current and in good standing without any disciplinary actions.
FDA Debarment List
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains a list of individuals and entities debarred from providing services in the drug and medical device industries. INSTAHIRE includes FDA debarment checks as part of our comprehensive screening process.
DEA Registrants
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) keeps a list of individuals and entities authorized to handle controlled substances. Our sanctions checks verify the status and any disciplinary actions related to DEA registrants.
