Administrative sanctions

Previous posts have discussed nurses that have been placed on the OIG Exclusions list and on the NPDB National Practitioner Databank.

There are MORE agencies that have their hand in this. Today I received a reinstatement letter from the (federal) Office of Personnel Management. Apparently I had been debarred (?) from their list when I was placed on the OIG Exclusions list.

Not everybody ends up on the preceding lists or is excluded. Usually they reserve that for licenses that are suspended or revoked, or for criminal convictions, and they do have some latitude as to who gets on there or not.

As it was also previously stated, one can be on the NPDB and not the OIG or OPM lists.

I was mildly surprised, as I thought that I had seen most of the fallout from this. I learned something, and thus thought I'd share it here.
