How ezOIG screens in Georgia

In every state, ezOIG screens the federal lists: the HHS-OIG exclusion list (LEIE), SAM.gov exclusions and the OFAC sanctions list.

Of Georgia's own registries, ezOIG screens 4: Georgia OIG Exclusions List (Georgia Medicaid Exclusion List), Georgia Sex Offender Registry, Georgia Nurse Aide Registry and Georgia Caregiver Registry.

4 registries the rules name are not screened by ezOIG yet. Each is listed below with the reason, so you know which to check another way.

  • CONSUMER DIRECT

    Consumer Directed Personal Support (EDWP and ICWP)

    Workers a member hires and directs under the EDWP (CCSP/SOURCE) and ICWP consumer directed options, paid through the Fiscal Intermediary. No licensed facility employs them, so the Long-term Care registry check does not apply; the manuals require a GCHEXS fingerprint check only.

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.
The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
