    DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
    Office of Inspector General
    
    
    Program Exclusions: December 1995 and January 1996
    
    AGENCY: Office of Inspector General, HHS.
    
    ACTION: Notice of program exclusions.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    During the months of December 1995 and January 1996, the HHS Office of 
    Inspector General imposed exclusions in the cases set forth below. When 
    an exclusion is imposed, no program payment is made to anyone for any 
    items or services (other than an emergency item or service not provided 
    in a hospital emergency room) furnished, ordered or prescribed by an 
    excluded party under the Medicare, Medicaid, Maternal and Child Health 
    Services Block Grant and Block Grants to States for Social Services 
    programs. In addition, no program payment is made to any business or 
    facility, e.g., a hospital, that submits bills for payment for items or 
    services provided by an excluded party. Program beneficiaries remain 
    free to decide for themselves whether they will continue to use the 
    services of an excluded party even though no program payments will be 
    made for items and services provided by that excluded party. The 
    exclusions have national effect and also apply to all Executive Branch 
    procurement and non-procurement programs and activities.
