(a)
If the OIG grants a request for reinstatement, the OIG will—
(1)
Give written notice to the excluded individual or entity specifying the date of reinstatement;
(2)
Notify CMS of the date of the individual's or entity's reinstatement;
(3)
Notify appropriate Federal and State agencies that administer health care programs that the individual or entity has been reinstated into all Federal health care programs; and
(4)
To the extent applicable, give notice to others that were originally notified of the exclusion.
(b)
A determination by the OIG to reinstate an individual or entity has no effect if a Federal health care program has imposed a longer period of exclusion under its own authorities.
