The healthcare industry has a unique set of standards and accompanying regulations that require background checks and periodic scans of several exclusion lists.

For healthcare professionals Priority Research includes a Nationwide Healthcare Fraud & Abuse scan, which conducts a search of sanction information taken by the Office of Inspector General (OIG), the General Services Administration (GSA) and other federal agencies. The information meets the government’s minimum requirements for sanction screening as set forth in the OIG’s Compliance Program Guidance.
