Technical difficulties with exclusion list online search

Posted by: Robert Markette
May 29, 2008
Topic: Fraud and Abuse, Self Referral, False Claims

I received an e-mail today form OIG's list serve regarding "technical difficulties" with the exclusion list search on their web site.  They e-mail stated that the list has "been intermittently not working for the last week or so."  So if you have been trying to check the list on line and been unable to do so, you were not making a mistake, their website is broken.

 

They are working on fixing it and have stated they hope it is back on line by the end of today.  (As of 7:20 p.m. eastern I have not received any further e-mails, I will leave you to draw your own conclusions gentle reader.)

 The e-mail suggests using the downloading the exclusions list database.  This feature allows you to download the list, open it in an excel spreadsheet and search it that way.  I have never used this feature, but when the OIG website is not working, it does provide an alternative.  

 If you are interested, I am attaching the instructions to this post.
