Massachusetts Exclusion List

Individuals and entities that MassHealth has suspended or excluded from participating in MassHealth are identified in the list above. They are listed according to the provider type at the time of such action.

In accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148) enacted on March 23, 2010, as revised by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-152) enacted on March 30, 2010, together known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the MassHealth program is required to terminate enrollment of any provider that is excluded under Medicare or by any other state Medicaid agency.

• Why it matters: Services ordered, referred, or rendered by excluded parties are non‑payable; employing or contracting with excluded providers risks recoupment and civil monetary penalties.
• What to verify: Legal name and aliases, NPI/Medicaid ID, license/board status, date of birth (if available), last known city/state, and exclusion effective/end dates.
• Update cadence: Typically updated monthly by the state. Record the file’s “as of” date and screen at hire and monthly thereafter.
• Compliance tips:
  • Cross‑check with OIG LEIE and SAM.gov and retain dated evidence of each search.
  • Add system blocks to prevent ordering/prescribing by excluded providers.
  • Document remediation steps for positive matches (schedule removal, claim holds, notifications).
