Sector Map — A Medicaid managed care plan

Who this is for: MCOs and their network, credentialing and compliance teams, any state

Why these forms: 42 CFR 438.608 and 438.610 put network providers, owners and subcontractors under screening and disclosure; the state's 455.436 check and the plan's own monthly read are two records of the same duty.

A reference map, not a receipt and not advice: the forms whose lines a dated public-record receipt supports for this kind of organisation, the Duty Sheet behind each, the official record each rests on, how this platform reads it, and what a read cannot prove. Whether a given line applies to a given organisation is decided by its awards, contracts and agencies — not here.

CMS-855A · 855B · 855I · 855S — CMS-855A / 855B / 855I / 855S Medicare Enrollment Applications — Section 3 Final Adverse Legal Actions

The line: Section 3 asks the applicant to list exclusions, debarments, revocations and license suspensions; 42 CFR 424.516 requires reporting changes within 30 days; 42 CFR 424.535 lists revocation grounds.

HHS-OIG General Compliance Program Guidance — exclusion screening of employees, medical staff and vendors — Any provider or supplier billing federal health care programs; OIG recommends screening at hire/contract and monthly

The step where a dated receipt is the record:

Step 3: The state agency repeats the LEIE and SAM check monthly. — 42 CFR 455.436(c)(2)
Step 4: No federal program payment for items or services furnished, ordered or prescribed by an excluded person; providers check their own staff and contractors. — 42 CFR 1001.1901(b); 42 CFR 438.610; OIG Special Advisory Bulletin on the Effect of Exclusion (2013)
Step 5: Managed care plans screen and the state enrolls network providers; plans report excluded or terminated providers. — 42 CFR 438.608(b)–(c)

Official record it rests on, and how this platform reads it:
