DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Office of Inspector General


Program Exclusions: November 1997

AGENCY: Office of Inspector General, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of program exclusions. During the month of November 
1997, the HHS Office of Inspector General imposed exclusions in the 
cases set forth below. When an exclusion is imposed, no program payment 
is made to anyone for any items or services (other than an emergency 
item or service not provided in a hospital emergency room) furnished, 
ordered or prescribed by an excluded party under the Medicare, 
Medicaid, Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant and Block 
Grants to States for Social Services programs. In addition, no program 
payment is made to any business or facility, e.g., a hospital, that 
submits bills for payment for items or services provided by an excluded 
party. Program beneficiaries remain free to decide for themselves 
whether they will continue to use the services of an excluded party 
even though no program payments will be made for items and services 
provided by that excluded party. The exclusions have national effect 
and also apply to all Executive Branch procurement and non-procurement 
programs and activities.
