How frequently do I need to check the exclusion lists?

Provider organizations are required to screen employees and vendors at least once a month. However, because each source updates at a different frequency (and because manually checking sources wastes time and energy), automated ongoing exclusion monitoring has become best practice. This service model allows you to know as soon as someone in your population appears on an exclusion list, instead of finding out weeks later.

Automated ongoing exclusion monitoring relies on matching algorithms that compare your monitored populations to an aggregated dataset of all federal and state exclusions. Automation is critical for enterprise organizations, but the amount of work required from internal teams can vary significantly based on the sophistication of the solution.
