               Subpart F--Reinstatement into the Programs
 
Sec. 1001.3001  Timing and method of request for reinstatement.


    (a)(1) Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(2) and (a)(3) of this 
section or in Sec. 1001.501(b)(4) of this part, an excluded individual 
or entity (other than those excluded in accordance with Secs. 1001.1001 
and 1001.1501) may submit a written request for reinstatement to the OIG 
only after the date specified in the notice of exclusion. Obtaining a 
program provider number or equivalent does not reinstate eligibility.
    (2) An entity under Sec. 1001.1001 may apply for reinstatement prior 
to the date specified in the notice of exclusion by submitting a written 
request for reinstatement that includes documentation demonstrating that 
the standards set forth in Sec. 1001.3002(c) have been met.
    (3) Upon receipt of a written request, the OIG will require the 
requestor to furnish specific information and authorization to obtain 
information from private health insurers, peer review bodies, probation 
officers, professional associates, investigative agencies and such 
others as may be necessary to determine whether reinstatement should be 
granted.
    (4) Failure to furnish the required information or authorization 
will result in the continuation of the exclusion.
    (b) If a period of exclusion is reduced on appeal (regardless of 
whether further appeal is pending), the individual or entity may request 
reinstatement once the reduced exclusion period expires.
