Not sure if this is the right place to ask but figured some of you might have run into this

I am fairly new and trying to understand where certain compliance things actually sit in day to day work. 

My supervisor has been talking more and more about exclusion screening and checking the OIG exclusion list but its not something that’s really part of our coding workflow directly.

At the same time i have been told that if a provider is on an exclusion list and still billing that can turn into a serious issue pretty fast

So now i am a bit confused where this actually gets handled.

Is this something coding teams are expected to be aware of? Or is it fully handled by compliance / admin teams and we just assume its taken care of?
