Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SentinelGraph

What is SentinelGraph?
SentinelGraph is a healthcare fraud intelligence platform that helps qualified professionals identify exclusion-linked control risk using structured public-source intelligence, entity-resolution methods, and evidence-traceable reporting designed to support professional review. It surfaces cases where excluded or high-risk individuals may still appear to control, operate, or benefit from active healthcare entities — patterns that standard screening tools typically miss.
How is this different from standard exclusion screening?
Standard exclusion screening checks names against exclusion lists (OIG-LEIE, SAM.gov, state lists). This catches direct matches but misses cases where excluded individuals maintain control through family members, business associates, or layered corporate structures. SentinelGraph maps control relationships — not just names — to identify these harder-to-detect patterns.
What data sources does SentinelGraph use?
We work exclusively with publicly available records: federal and state exclusion lists, state corporate filings, state licensing board records, provider enrollment data (NPPES, PECOS), court records, property records, and enforcement actions. We do not use proprietary databases, private investigator services, or non-public data.
Does SentinelGraph conduct investigations or provide legal advice?
No. SentinelGraph provides structured intelligence based on public records and other lawful-source materials. It does not provide legal advice, conduct investigations, or make determinations of fraud, liability, or regulatory violation.
Who uses SentinelGraph?
Our intelligence is designed for healthcare fraud attorneys, federal and state investigators (OIG, DOJ, state AG, MFCU), compliance officers at healthcare organizations and managed care plans, and program-integrity stakeholders at state Medicaid agencies and Medicare contractors.
How are findings delivered?
Findings are delivered as structured intelligence reports that include known facts, evidence chains with source citations, open questions, confidence ratings, and recommended next steps. Every finding is reviewed by a human analyst before delivery. We do not deliver raw data or unreviewed automated output.
What does "evidence-traceable" mean?
Every observation in a SentinelGraph report is linked to a specific public record or data source. We document what we found, where we found it, when we accessed it, and how confident we are in the entity resolution. This means every finding can be independently verified by the recipient.
Can SentinelGraph prove fraud?
No. SentinelGraph identifies patterns and source-linked observations that may indicate exclusion-linked control risk or related structural concerns. It does not prove fraud, establish legal liability, or make regulatory determinations.
How do I request a briefing or sample materials?
Use the contact form on this website or reach out directly. We will schedule a confidential conversation to understand your needs and determine whether SentinelGraph intelligence may be relevant to your work. Sample materials can be provided in connection with a confidential briefing. There is no obligation and no cost for the initial conversation.
Is there a cost for using SentinelGraph?
Engagement terms depend on the scope and nature of the work. We offer initial briefings at no cost to determine fit. Ongoing engagements are typically structured as project-based or subscription arrangements. Contact us for details.
Still have questions?
If you work in healthcare compliance, fraud investigation, legal oversight, or program integrity — and want to understand how SentinelGraph approaches exclusion-linked control risk — we would welcome a confidential conversation.
