AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal law on excluding health care providers from Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health care programs. If an individual or entity is excluded because of a conviction for fraud, theft, embezzlement, breach of fiduciary responsibility, or other financial misconduct, the exclusion would be permanent. This applies only to convictions that occur on or after the bill becomes law. The bill also removes the option for these providers to later apply to have the exclusion ended.
