title: Criteria for implementing permissive exclusion authority under Section 1128(b)(7) of the Social Security Act--Office of Inspector General, HHS. Notice.
abstract: This notice sets forth a proposed policy statement, in the form of non-binding guidelines, to be used by the OIG in assessing whether to impose a permissive exclusion in accordance with section 1128(b)(7) of the Social Security Act. These guidelines identify specific factors with regard to whether an individual's or entity's continued participation in the Medicare and other Federal and State health care programs will pose a risk to the programs or program beneficiaries, and explain how these factors would be used by the OIG to assess a permissive exclusion decision.
