sanctions and exclusions

A sanction check is a screening process in which an organization scans federal and state exclusion lists to see if the potential or current employee, provider or contractor is under sanction.

Exclusion screening is the process of verifying that an employee or potential is not classified as an excluded individual who is prohibited from participation in any Federal health care program.

The background check report may include the following information:  

• Which list the record was found on. 
• Whether the record was regarding a suspension, debarment or other exclusion. 
• The event date. 
• The federal agency responsible for the event. 
• The identifiers used to confirm the record.
