Labor Code §139.21(a) suspends providers from the system if they:

A. Are convicted of a crime* that involves:

    • fraud or abuse of the Medi-Cal or Medicare program, workers’ compensation system, or any patient;
    • the individual’s medical practice as it pertains to patient care;
    • a financial crime relating to Medi-Cal, Medicare, or the workers’ compensation system;
    • the qualifications, functions, or duties of a provider of services.*

B. Suspension due to fraud or abuse from the federal Medicare or Medicaid programs.
C. Surrender or revocation of the individual’s license, certificate, or approval to provide health care.

*Providers suspended under (A) are also subject to consolidation and dismissal of all pending lien claims. Lien consolidation hearings are posted online.

Providers on the list were issued suspension notices or suspension orders per Labor Code section 139.21(a). The suspension takes effect 30 calendar days after the notice is issued , unless it is appealed.

A suspension means that providers are unable to provide or obtain payment for any treatment, evaluation, or other service related to a workers’ compensation claim.
