The OIG's List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) is significant for healthcare compliance programs primarily because:
-
A
It lists all providers who have been investigated but not charged
-
B
Entities that employ or pay excluded individuals may be subject to civil monetary penalties
-
C
Exclusion from the LEIE automatically triggers loss of a provider's state medical license
-
D
It applies only to individuals excluded for fraud, not for quality-of-care violations
