What the agency says
This proposed rule proposes to amend the regulations relating to exclusion authorities under the authority of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or the Department). The proposed rule would codify changes made by the Medicaid Services Investment and Accountability Act of 2019 (MSIAA), that added exclusion authorities related to misclassification and false information about outpatient drugs. The proposed rule would also update and clarify OIG's procedures for excluding individuals and entities from participation in the Federal health care programs, including the factors that will be considered in determining the length of exclusions, the provisions governing notices of exclusions, and certain provisions related to reinstatement into the programs.
