Why this was flagged

Critical
Excluded owner

An owner matches the federal exclusion list

A person or company listed as an owner or managing party of this provider matches a name on the HHS OIG list of individuals and entities excluded from federal healthcare programs. Names can coincide, so the identity must be confirmed before this means anything.

Shared address

2 providers share this street address

This address is the registered location of 2 separate Medicare-enrolled providers. Legitimate causes exist (shared medical office buildings, management companies), but dense clustering of billing entities at one address is a known fraud pattern.
