International sanctions and exclusion lists

The sanctions and debarment lists credentialing and compliance teams screen beyond the OIG and SAM: OFAC's SDN list, the UN Security Council, EU, UK, and Canadian consolidated lists, and the World Bank debarment list. Direct links to each search or download.

Common questions

Which international sanctions lists do credentialing teams screen?
Consolidated Canadian Autonomous Sanctions List, EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, OFAC Sanctions List Search, UK OFSI Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets, UK Sanctions List, United Nations Security Council Consolidated List, and World Bank Listing of Ineligible Firms and Individuals. OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals list applies to every US organization, so most credentialing programs screen it alongside the OIG LEIE and SAM.gov. The UN, EU, UK, Canadian, and World Bank lists matter when an organization employs, contracts with, or pays providers and vendors outside the United States.
Is OFAC screening part of provider credentialing?
Increasingly, yes. OFAC prohibits US persons from transacting with sanctioned parties, and payers and health systems often include the SDN list in initial credentialing and ongoing exclusion monitoring. Search by name at the OFAC Sanctions List Search, and document the check the same way as an OIG or SAM search.
