What Are Healthcare Sanctions Searches?

Healthcare Sanctions Searches give insight to a healthcare professional’s medical background. We search more than 1,000 government sources for any penalties, suspensions, or punitive or disciplinary actions taken against a healthcare professional.

 

Why Run Healthcare Sanctions Searches?

The US Department of Health & Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) guidance bars healthcare organizations from hiring anyone who has been sanctioned or “excluded” from participating in federal programs.
