How ezOIG screens in South Carolina

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

Of South Carolina's own registries, ezOIG screens 1: South Carolina Medicaid Excluded/Terminated Providers (South Carolina List of Sanctioned Individuals/Entities).

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.

    Personal Care (HCBS Waiver and State Plan)

    All employees of agencies providing Personal Care, HASCI Agency Attendant Care and agency Respite under the SCDHHS scope, including administrator, office manager and supervising nurse. Self-directed attendants are a separate case: SCDHHS enrolls them, and their scope requires only that they have no Medicare or Medicaid exclusion.

    All employees of agencies providing Companion (Agency) services under the SCDHHS scope. Private-pay in-home care providers licensed under R.60-122 have the same SLED check and drug test, but the Medicaid list checks apply only to Medicaid-enrolled agencies.

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.
Paid access
The agency charges for access, and ezOIG doesn't include it yet.
