Oig Cia Check
oig_cia_checkDoes this healthcare company or individual have an HHS-OIG Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA)? Checks a name against the current HHS-OIG CIA roster — companies and individuals OIG agreed not to exclude from Medicare/Medicaid in exchange for binding compliance obligations, as part of a False Claims Act or other settlement. Different from an EXCLUSION (see the leie / ny-omig-exclusions packs): a CIA entity is still participating, under obligations. An exact name match is the strongest signal; a normalized-name or partial/token match is returned as a labelled CANDIDATE, since CIA entity names are often compound (a company plus named co-signers) — e.g. searching "SNAP Diagnostics" finds "SNAP Diagnostics, LLC and Gil Raviv" as a candidate. Returns, for the best match: status (Effective/Suspended/Closed/Refused), effective date, term/duration, settlement amount, and the agreement PDF URL (fetched live from the entity's own detail page — not stale). Returns found:false with the list's as-of date and total agreement count when no match exists. Sourced from HHS-OIG, keyless.
