FTLF Partner and Compliance Counsel, Dianne Pledgie, was quoted on Tuesday, June 26th, 2018 in the Part B News article “Check all employees monthly – and try different name spellings – to avoid exclusion hassles”. The article focused on provider exclusions listing 8 items to check for when going through the process.

Check the Excluded Party List System (EPLS) and state Medicaid. To be thorough with your due diligence, go to the System for Award Management (SAM) page the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) administers and see whether your incoming employees are on the EPLS, which lists debarment actions taken by various federal agencies.”
