                      Subpart A_General Provisions

 

Sec.  1002.1  Scope and purpose.





    The regulations in this part specify certain bases upon which 

individuals and entities may, or in some cases must, be excluded from 

participation in the Medicaid program. These regulations specifically 

address the authority of State agencies to exclude on their own 

initiative, regardless of whether the OIG has excluded an individual or 

entity under part 1001 of this chapter. These regulations also delineate 

the States' obligation to inform the OIG of certain Medicaid-related 

convictions.
