DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Office of Inspector General


Program Exclusions: August 1998

AGENCY: Office of Inspector General, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of program exclusions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    During the month of August 1998, 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 room) furnished, ordered or 
prescribed by an excluded party under the Medicare, Medicaid, and all 
Federal Health Care 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.
