FREE WEBINAR on HHS OIG Exclusions: Learn from Leading Compliance Experts

Posted by Ian

The Complete Exclusion Screening Playbook: From Sanctions to Conflicts of Interest

On September 9, 2025, Compliancy Group is hosting a free webinar to discuss best practices for ensuring compliance with laws and regulations regarding exclusions and sanctions screening and monitoring in today’s rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

Effective screening is essential before onboarding any individual or entity, and healthcare organizations must have policies and procedures in place for regular ongoing checks of individuals and entities prohibited from participating in state and federally funded programs, such as the HHS-OIG List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE). There are severe penalties for employing individuals who have been excluded from participating in federal healthcare programs, including heavy fines and potential exclusion.

At the webinar, leading Compliance Officer, James Maguire, will be joined by recognized sales and business development executive Tom Leahy for an advanced exploration of sophisticated screening frameworks that do far more than ensure compliance with basic regulatory requirements. During this executive-level discussion, attendees will learn about the complex intersection of sanctions compliance, exclusion monitoring, and organizational conflict management in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

Webinar attendees will learn about:

  • Exclusions and sanction screening best practices
  • How to effectively establish and manage conflict‑of‑interest programs
  • Practical challenges faced by compliance officers
  • How new laws and trends are reshaping screening imperatives
