Section 812 of the Bipartisan Budget
Act of 2015 (BBA 812) amends section 223(d)(5) of the Social
Security Act (Act) by adding a subsection “C.” BBA 812 mandates
that the Social Security Administration (SSA) implement the
provisions of amended section 223(d)(5)(C) by regulation by
November 2, 2016. Section 223(d)(5)(C) of the Act, as amended,
requires SSA to exclude evidence (except for good cause) from
medical sources: (1) convicted of a felony under sections 208 or
1632 of the Act; (2) excluded from participating in any Federal
health care program under section 1128 of the Act; or (3) imposed
with a civil monetary penalty (CMP), assessment, or both, for
submitting false evidence, under section 1129 of the Act. These
proposed, new regulations will require statutorily excluded medical
sources to self-report their excluded status in writing each time
they submit evidence related to a claim for benefits under Titles
II or XVI of the Act. Statutorily excluded medical sources’ duty to
self-report their excluded status will apply to evidence they
submitted to SSA directly or through a representative, claimant, or
other individual or entity. The self-report will include: (1) the
heading "WRITTEN STATEMENT REGARDING SECTION 233(d)(5)(C) OF THE
SOCIAL SECURITY ACT - DO NOT REMOVE[,]" (2) the name and title of
the affected source; and (3) the applicable excluding event (i.e.,
felony conviction, section 1128 exclusion, or CMP or assessment
under section 1129). Felons must also include their date of
conviction, and those imposed with a CMP must provide the dates of
imposition. Sources excluded under section 1128 must include: (1)
the basis of their exclusion; (2) its effective date and
anticipated length, and (3) whether the Department of Health and
Human Services' Office of Inspector General waived it. The
respondents for this collection are medical sources that (1) meet
one of the exclusionary categories set forth in section
223(d)(5)(C) of the Act, as amended, and (2) furnish evidence
related to a claim for benefits under Titles II or XVI of the
Act.
