How ezOIG screens in New York

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

Of New York's own registries, ezOIG screens 2: NYS Medicaid Exclusion List and New York State Home Care 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.

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.

Add a few people, run a check, and see what comes back.
