License/Credentials Certification – Federal I hereby certify that:

· I am not currently excluded, suspended, or otherwise barred from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid programs, or any other federal or federally assisted programs.

· The support staff I use who participate in the conduct of consultative examinations, and any third parties who conduct other studies purchased by the Disability Determination Services (DDS), meet all appropriate licensing or certification requirements of the State, as required by the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) regulations (20 C.F.R. 404.1519g , and 416.919g ); and, not currently excluded, suspended, or otherwise barred from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid programs, or any other federal or federally assisted programs, as required by SSA’s regulations (20 CFR 404.1503a , and 416.903a ).

· My license is current and active and has not been revoked or suspended by any State licensing authority for reasons bearing on professional competence, professional conduct, or financial integrity.

· I have not surrendered my license while awaiting final determination on formal disciplinary proceedings involving professional conduct.

· I understand that a credentials check will be made upon my initial agreement to perform services and periodically thereafter by the DDS.

· I will immediately notify the DDS if there is any pending disciplinary action against my license. Failure to do so could result in termination of an agreement to perform services and/or legal action.

I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, all of the information on this form is correct. I understand I will not be considered for an agreement to provide services if I am unable to certify to the above; and, false certification will be grounds for termination of any resulting agreement to provide services.
