With the gear up plan of 2015, it is now very clear that the OIG
Background Check is not going to be easy though! All the OIG
(Office of Inspector General) are now more concerned and putting harder efforts
in implementing the screening practices, especially in the regard of healthcare
industries. It is now important for all the compliance officers and medical
providers to be upgraded with the till date state/ federal laws in order to
prove them self’s fully compliant.
The newly implemented 2015 plan basically focuses on the
below aspects OIG
Exclusion List Search. Let’s discuss the four strategies in
detail:
1. National Background
Check
2. Hospital Employee
Privileges
3. Investigate Criminal
Convictions
4. Terminated Program
Providers
Let us discuss the points in detail:
1. National Background Check: Mandated by affordable care act
and patient protection, all the employee of long-term
approach care will have to go through the national background check. These
national background checks are solely organized by OIG.
2. Hospital Employee Privileges: In this, OIG will keep an
eye on the hospitals that how they are granting the privilege to them. What are
the methodologies they are following? How actually they will implement the
stuff and so on. In short we can say that in- depth evaluations to the
verification of the candidate and the databank of the national provider will
take place.
3. Investigate Criminal Convictions: Next, OIG will take care
of the probe of the functionality that how people with having any kind of
criminal records are appointed by the home health agencies.
4. Terminated Program Providers: It’s the whole duty of OIG
to take strict rules to those who have been already terminated from medical/
Medicare or any kind of state Medicaid programs.
