Responsibility of Medicare and Medicaid Enrolled Providers To Avoid Hiring Excluded Individuals

Every provider is held responsible on the federal and state level for ensuring that their employees have not been excluded by either the federal Office of Inspector General or State Medicaid Program Integrity. To determine if an employee or prospective employee is excluded, check the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals Adverse Actions website at the link listed below:
