This service is specific to the healthcare field.  The Office of Inspector General (OIG) established a program to exclude certain individuals and entities from participating in Federally funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare & Medicaid.  This also includes a search to determine if an individual or entity in the healthcare field (physicians, PA's, nurses and other allied healthcare professionals) have had disciplinary action taken against them.  Covers over 50 different types of healthcare professionals and entities and includes all 50 states.  An important search for healthcare providers as the Congress of the United States established a Civil Monetary Penalty for institutions that knowingly hire excluded parties.
