For licensed professionals

A single hit you didn't see coming
can end the career you spent a decade building.

Boards post sanctions overnight. The OIG quietly adds names every month. A complaint filed under a similar name lands on your record before HR, your insurer, or you ever notice.One snapshot at hire isn't protection. Continuous monitoring is.

PracticeSentry watches federal and state registries, professional boards, and credential expirations around the clock — and cross-references your name against every disciplinary feed so an impersonator can't blow up your license without you knowing.

Federal coverage is nationwide. State-level board and Medicaid scans currently live in Ohio, with more states rolling out monthly.

The risk is real

Most businesses have no system to catch this.

Until it's too late.

OIG Civil Monetary Penalty

$0

per claim billed by an excluded individual (2025 rate)

Employ someone on the federal exclusion list in a Medicare or Medicaid role. Every claim they touched gets flagged. Every dollar repaid. Then the CMP stacks on top, up to $25,595 per item, per service.

The OIG exclusion list has 78,927 entries. It updates monthly. Most employers check it never.

Real Case: One Excluded Nurse

$0

paid by The Estates of St. Louis for a single excluded charge nurse

One care facility. One excluded nurse on staff. Every Medicare claim she touched had to be repaid, plus civil monetary penalties on top. $300,000 in total liability. One oversight. One employee.

Sharp Healthcare paid $153,072 for one excluded nurse. Baptist Health paid $184,000. This happens every month.

How PracticeSentry prevents this

PracticeSentry screens your entire workforce, not just new hires. Existing employees who become excluded are flagged immediately.

Cascade Permit Failure

0 procedures

performed on a voided anesthesia permit, every one a liability

A dental hygienist's BLS expired. No alert. The BLS was a prerequisite for the practice's anesthesia permit, which became void the day the BLS lapsed. 43 sedation procedures were performed after that. Every one is now a liability.

Permit-on-permit dependencies are invisible in spreadsheets. One expired BLS can void your entire sedation program.

How PracticeSentry prevents this

PracticeSentry maps credential dependencies. When a prerequisite expires, dependent permits are flagged before a single procedure is performed.

SAM.gov Debarment Match

$0

Rotech Healthcare, excluded employees across multiple locations

A provider on the SAM.gov debarment list continued billing federal programs. Every claim submitted after the exclusion date was flagged. The practice repaid every dollar, plus treble damages under the False Claims Act.

SAM.gov and the CMS Preclusion List update independently from OIG. Checking one is not enough.

How PracticeSentry prevents this

How it works

Audit. Arm. Alert.

Three steps to a complete picture of your professional standing.

01

Tell us about you

Profession and credentials. Two minutes, not twenty. We ask only what we need to run a complete audit.

02

We arm the scan

We check 100+ credentials across 40+ federal and state registries. OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, CMS, state Medicaid, professional boards, board actions.

03

Get your audit. Stay protected.

Certificate PDF with QR code and a shareable verification link. Then we keep watching, every month or every few business days. Any change, any alert, you hear it first.

Why continuous monitoring

One quiet failure ends the career you built.

These don't announce themselves. They show up at audits, at renewals, at credentialing. We watch so you find out first.

What happens when someone with a name like yours gets disciplined?

Boards and federal databases match by name. A complaint filed against another nurse, dentist, or PT with a name close to yours can attach to your record before anyone catches it. By the time you find out, an insurer has dropped you, an employer has flagged you, or a credentialing committee has put you on hold. Most professionals never check.

Tap for the solution →

PracticeSentry cross-references your name against every disciplinary feed we monitor — federal exclusions, state board actions, Medicaid exclusion lists — so a near-miss match gets flagged the day it lands.

What if your name shows up on the OIG exclusion list?

The OIG publishes monthly. Inclusion can come from a complaint you didn't know was filed, a billing dispute that escalated, or — most insidiously — a name-match mistake. Hospitals, insurers, and employers screen against this list at hire and quarterly thereafter. A single match terminates your privileges. Most professionals have never checked.

Tap for the solution →

PracticeSentry runs your name against the OIG LEIE every month. If you ever appear, you find out before your employer does — with time to file a correction.

When was the last time you actually checked your own license status?

Most licensed professionals look once at renewal and never between. Boards post status changes, restrictions, and disciplinary actions in real time. A clerical mistake at the board can flip your status to inactive without notice. You keep practicing. Your billing keeps going through. Your legal exposure builds silently.

Tap for the solution →

PracticeSentry pulls your live board record continuously. Any change to your status, license number, restrictions, or board actions triggers an alert the same day.

What does a malpractice claim look like when your license has a quiet gap?

Most malpractice policies require active, unrestricted licensure at the time of the incident. A 14-day gap because your renewal got bounced for a missing CE credit can void your defense, deny indemnification, and put your personal assets on the line. You don't find out until you're being sued.

Tap for the solution →

PracticeSentry alerts at 90, 30, and 7 days before any license or required certification expires — and tells you the moment a renewal is rejected or pending.

What if your sedation permit silently goes invalid because your BLS lapsed?

Permits stack on permits. Your anesthesia or sedation permit may require an active BLS, ACLS, or PALS card. Your DEA registration requires an active state license. When the foundation lapses, the permit on top quietly becomes void — but you keep using it. You only find out during an audit, a complaint, or when a payer claws back claims.

Tap for the solution →

PracticeSentry maps these credential dependencies for you. If a prerequisite expires, every permit stacked on it is flagged immediately — not after the audit.

What about the investment you made to get here?

School. Boards. Years of supervised practice. The license isn't a piece of paper — it's the only path back to the income, the patients, and the standing you've built. A single uncaught hit, a mistaken name match, a missed renewal, an expired prerequisite, and that investment becomes a fight to get reinstated. Reinstatements take months. Some never come.

Tap for the solution →

Continuous monitoring is the cheapest insurance you can buy on a six-figure investment. PracticeSentry keeps your license earning instead of being clawed back.
