Managing the compliance process is an effort for my small dental practice. I know that we need to check new hires against federal lists. I have also noticed in several online articles that everyone suggests performing Exclusions screening every month.

Is that a requirement for small teams, or is it excessive? It appears to require a lot of administrative effort on our part. I do not want to incur fines, but I also do not wish to spend much time doing it. How do the rest of you handle this as efficiently as possible while keeping cost down? Do you utilize any automated software for this process, or do you do it manually?
