Suspension of Entities Submitting Claims for Suspended Providers

Entities submitting claims for services rendered by a health care provider suspended from Medi-Cal or excluded from Medicare or Medicaid by the Federal Office of Inspector General are subject to Medi-Cal suspension.

Welfare and Institutions Code (W&I Code), Section 14043.61(a), states, in relevant part, that “a provider shall be subject to suspension if claims for payment are submitted under any provider number used by the provider to obtain reimbursement from Medi-Cal for the services, goods, supplies or merchandise provided, directly or indirectly, to a Medi-Cal recipient by an individual or entity that is suspended, excluded, or otherwise ineligible because of a sanction to receive, directly or indirectly, reimbursement from Medi-Cal and the individual or entity is listed on either the Medi-Cal Suspended and Ineligible Provider List or any list published by the Federal Office of Inspector General regarding the suspension or exclusion of individuals or entities from the Federal Medicare and Medicaid programs, to identify suspended, excluded, or otherwise ineligible providers.”
