On this episode of the ASC Podcast with John Goehle, recorded live at the annual AHS Retreat, the AHS team talks about a variety of topics, including QAPI program design and reporting, developing a strategic plan, team building, monitoring exclusionary databases and much more!

Notes from Podcast:

Monthly basis exclusion databases:

1. U.S. Office of Inspector General’s List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (OIG-LEIE)
   • https://exclusions.oig.hhs.gov/
2. U.S. General Service Administration’s System for Award Management (GSA-SAM) (formerly known as the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS))
   • https://www.sam.gov/SAM/pages/public/searchRecords/search.jsf
3. New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General List of Restricted and Excluded Provider (OMIG Exclusion List)
   • https://omig.ny.gov/search-exclusions
4. U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) 
   • https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/

Only Annual Monitoring

1. U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES)
   • https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/
2. U.S. Social Security Administration Death Master File (Death Master) 
   • You have to Pay for Access to this Database.  Perhaps the best way to determine if your employee or provider is dead is to take their pulse annually!
