       On the Need for Expanded Federal Exclusion Authority



     Mr. Chairmen and members of the Committees we are pleased to

be here today to discuss the need for expanded federal exclusion

authority for practitioners to help ensure that Medicare and

Medicaid recipients receive quality care.  While reviewing how

the Medicare and Medicaid programs operate, we noted that it was

possible for medical practitioners--medical doctors, osteopathic

doctors, podiatrists, chiropractors, dentists and pharmacists--

who held licenses in more than one state, to have one of these

licenses suspended or revoked by a state licensing board but

relocate and continue to treat Medicare and Medicaid patients.
