Integrity for Taxpayers Act

This bill changes the rules that let the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services bar certain businesses and people from Federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Under the bill, an entity could be excluded if a sanctioned person had an ownership or control interest in it, or was an officer or managing employee, at the time of that person's conviction, civil monetary penalty, or exclusion. Similarly, a person could be excluded based on their ownership, control, or officer role in a sanctioned entity at the time of the entity's conviction or exclusion. The bill also corrects a cross-reference to a definition in the Social Security Act.
