Good morning to all from Washington, DC. Today OIG posts congressional testimony, updates the List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) database, and shares news about enforcement actions. As always, you can use the links provided to go directly to the new material. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OIG Regional Inspector General Testifies Today http://go.usa.gov/dms Ann Maxwell, Regional Inspector General for Evaluation and Inspections, testifies this morning before the Subcommittee on Government Organization, Efficiency and Financial Management of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on assessing Medicare and Medicaid program integrity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LEIE Database Updated with May 2012 Exclusions and Reinstatements The "Updated LEIE" database file reflects all OIG exclusion and reinstatement actions up to, and including, those taken in May 2012. This new, "Updated LEIE" (List of Excluded Individuals and Entities) is a complete database file containing all exclusions currently in effect. Individuals and entities that have been reinstated to the federal health care programs are not included in this file. The new file is meant to REPLACE the "Updated LEIE" file made available for download last month. The new file is complete and need NOT be used in conjunction with the monthly exclusion and reinstatement supplements. Alternatively you may wish to download either the May Exclusions or Reinstatements databases only which are posted as the "Current Monthly Supplements" All the updated files are posted at http://www.oig.hhs.gov/exclusions/exclusions_list.asp All of these downloadable files are zipped, self-extracting .dbf files, meaning that they will not open automatically when you click on the links. After you have downloaded the files to your computer and inflated them, the files must be opened into either a spreadsheet program such as Excel, or a database program such as Access. Basic download instructions are provided at the bottom of the page where the updated files are posted. Finally, it should be added, the full LEIE database -- complete with all the monthly updates -- is included in the OIG "Online Searchable Database" which is very user-friendly and may be accessed here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 6, 2012; U.S. Department of Justice Home Health Agency Owner Pleads Guilty in Connection with Detroit Fraud Scheme http://go.usa.gov/yWn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ State Enforcement Actions Updated http://go.usa.gov/pqp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ That’s all we have for today. If we can be of any further assistance, please send an Email to public.affairs@oig.hhs.gov I hope your week is going well. Marc Wolfson – Office of External Affairs
