How ezOIG screens in Maine
In every state, ezOIG screens the federal lists: the HHS-OIG exclusion list (LEIE), SAM.gov exclusions and the OFAC sanctions list.
Of Maine's own registries, ezOIG screens 4: Maine Excluded Providers Database (MaineCare excluded provider list), Maine Sex Offender Registry, Maine Registry of Certified Nursing Assistants and Direct Care Workers and Professional and occupational licensee search (ALMS).
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.

Why some registries are not screened yet
- 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.
