Nurses on the No-Hire List? Big Fines!

Two healthcare companies just got slapped with major fines for hiring nurses who were on the federal exclusion list—aka the healthcare industry’s no-hire list. These nurses weren’t supposed to work with Medicare or Medicaid patients, but somehow slipped through the cracks. The result? One company paid over $41k, the other nearly $78k, and both had to fire the nurses. Just a reminder: skipping those background checks can seriously cost you! #HealthcareCompliance #NurseLife #WorkplaceDrama #OIG #Medicare #Medicaid #Health
