Windsor Laurelwood Center for Behavioral Medicine (Willoughby, OH) — Excluded Employee Under Active CIA
Outcome: Settled for $104,007.15 after self-disclosing under its existing Corporate Integrity Agreement that it employed an individual it knew or should have known was excluded from federal healthcare programs.
Windsor Laurelwood Center for Behavioral Medicine, a behavioral health provider in Willoughby, Ohio, employed an individual who was excluded from participation in federal healthcare programs. This occurred while the facility was already under a Corporate Integrity Agreement — a prior compliance obligation triggered by earlier enforcement action, which specifically requires ongoing OIG exclusion screening.
The self-disclosure under the CIA reflects the facility's obligation to report compliance failures discovered through its mandated compliance program activities. Despite this enhanced oversight structure, the excluded-individual employment occurred — demonstrating that CIA compliance requirements alone cannot guarantee effective exclusion screening without automated real-time checking tools.
The settlement of $104,007.15 was finalized July 31, 2025.
How Crucible Prevents This
Crucible's automated LEIE screening hooks would catch excluded employees even at facilities under active CIAs; the fact that Windsor Laurelwood — already under CIA oversight — still employed an excluded individual demonstrates that manual CIA compliance cannot substitute for automated monthly exclusion screening.
