OIG Help

Nurses Recovery

Published

Hello, I am new to this site and am soooo glad it's available. I just got my RN license reinstated a couple of months ago and got a job and everything. I was super excited, until I met with the nursing board a couple of weeks ago. They informed me I am on the OIG exclusion list. I have never heard of this before and it never came up during the two years I have been working on getting my license reinstated.

I just received the application to be removed from the exclusion list and have been working on it all day. I am just waiting on some character references and a statement from the court. I did receive a pre-trial diversion and got a couple misdemeanor charges since I was placed on the exclusion list in 2010. I hope this doesn't keep me from being removed and I hope I submit all the needed information to the OIG.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I barely found out about this list I was revoked 9 years ago as a CNA for job abandonment. Now my goal is to get off this list besides a speeding ticket have not been in any trouble so im hoping they take it off....

I don't know. I hate to say one way or another. Remember that the Office of Inspector General is a bureaucratic agency, and whether you are removed from the Exclusion list will depend on them. It depends on how long you were excluded, what happened, and other questions they ask on the paperwork.

In other words, I can't say. You.need to write them and ask for the paperwork to get the process startef.

You can be placed in the NPDB for many reasons other than diversion, crimes, etc. Many providers are in the NPDB but are not on the OIG exclusion list

Jnorth, I know it has been almost a year since you posted that you got off the OIG list but if you see this can you tell me how long it took from the time you sent in your paperwork? I have been on the list since 2012 for suspension of nursing license . I failed to complete IPN in Florida. Never wanted to be a nurse again after all I went through. I recently went back to school for medical coding but since I am on the list I cannot work until I am off the list. Through many emails with OIG I was told today that their regulations have changed and I can submit paperwork now. I have requested the packet. Did you hire an attorney to help you?

THank you.

I got myself off the list without an attorney. Follow the instructions to the letter and answer them honestly.
