When should a State entity file a Licensure Action Report instead of a Government Administrative Action Report?
When reporting to the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB), State agencies that license health care practitioners, providers, and suppliers should use the State Licensure Action category for adverse actions taken against the subject’s license. The agency should not report the action in the Government Administrative category, even if it views its action as administrative in nature. An example of State Licensure Action includes revocation and suspension of license, probation and limitation of a license, as well as reprimand and censure. These types of actions are only available as selections in the Adverse Action Classification Code field for State Licensure Actions. Codes that are appropriate for State Licensure Actions are not included in the Government Administrative Action category.
