State-level screening that closes federal screening gaps
Federal OIG and SAM screening isn't enough. State Medicaid exclusions, abuse registries, and licensing board actions create compliance exposure that federal lists don't cover. Ethico's SSDM monitors all 50 states automatically—no more manual state-by-state checking.
Federal screening leaves gaps. SSDM closes them.
The Problem
A provider can be excluded from California's Medicaid program without appearing on federal OIG LEIE. An aide on a state abuse registry won't show on SAM. Federal-only screening misses state-level exclusions.
The Result
Complete exclusion screening, not partial coverage. SSDM catches what federal screening misses.
SSDM Covers:
No more manual state board checking
The Problem
Staff spend hours clicking through 50+ state websites. It's impossible to scale.
Each state has different exclusion lists, website portals, update schedules, and search requirements.
SSDM Automation
- Continuous monitoring across all jurisdictions
- Automated database updates
- Single search, all states covered
- No manual website navigation

How Multi-State Monitoring Works
One search, all 50 states covered
| Step | What Happens | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Name Input | Upload roster via portal or API | Screening initiated |
| Multi-State Search | Simultaneous search across all 50 states | State hits identified |
| List Aggregation | Medicaid exclusions, abuse registries, licensing actions compiled | Match results compiled |
| Precision Matching | Multi-identifier verification reduces false positives | Confirmed matches flagged |
| Federal Combination | Results combined with OIG/SAM screening | Complete exclusion picture |
| Alert Routing | Matches routed to designated reviewers | Review queue populated |
"We discovered three state exclusions that never appeared on federal lists—providers who would have been in our facilities if we relied on OIG-only screening. SSDM closed gaps we didn't know we had."
