Date:
Petitioner,
- v. -
The Inspector General.
INFORMAL BRIEF OF PETITIONER
The Inspector General (I.G.) argues that he is authorized to exclude you from
participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federally-funded health care
programs, because you were suspended, excluded, or otherwise sanctioned under a
federal or State health care program as is described at section 1128(b)(5) of the
Social Security Act. The length of the exclusion is for a period of time that is not
less than the period during which you are suspended, excluded, or otherwise
sanctioned plus at least _____ additional years.
The issues in this case are whether the I.G. is authorized to exclude you and
whether the length of the exclusion is reasonable.
I. Were you suspended, excluded, or otherwise sanctioned under a federal or
State health care program under the circumstances that are described at
section 1128(b)(5)?
