Staying compliant takes having the right information, and if your team could use a refresher, make sure you work with an engaging compliance training program, so everyone can feel more involved.

Periodic Exclusion Database Checks Are A Must
When you work with government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare, you need to follow their rules. One thing that they require is a monthly exclusion database check, which combs through lists of people, businesses, and organizations who are not supposed to be working with these programs. These are required by federal and state regulations as a way to root out fraud, waste, and loss.
An example of this is the Office of Inspector General (OIG) List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE), and state Medicaid exclusion lists like Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Excluded Provider List here in the Lone Star State. For a list of states with separate state provider exclusion lists, check out this page for more information, or feel free to give us a call.
It is important to verify licensure and other enrollments annually. It is important that any license or enrollment actions are notified to the employer HR department as this can impact reimbursement.
Upgrade Your Approach With Effective Compliance Training
Doing monthly exclusion database checks are an essential part of following regulations, but if you’re not aware, then it can be tough to do the right thing. And unfortunately, some of those off-the-shelf compliance training options can focus more on ushering your team through their program rather than give people an engaging experience. That’s not exactly an environment that is conducive for learning.
Dental Auditing Solutions knows that when people are invested in their own success, they bring that energy to the office. We can help your team to really understand not only what they are doing, but why.
