DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Office of Inspector General
Program Exclusions: November 1997
AGENCY: Office of Inspector General, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of program exclusions. During the month of November
1997, 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, Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant and Block
Grants to States for Social Services 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.
