How ezOIG screens in Illinois

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

Of Illinois's own registries, ezOIG screens 5: OIG Provider Sanctions List (Illinois Medicaid Sanctions List), Individual in Custody Search, Health Care Worker Registry, License Lookup and Wanted Fugitives.

5 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.

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.
Requires an employer account
Searches go through the employer's own account with the agency, so ezOIG doesn't run them for you.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
