Pursuant to Public Law 100-93, the Federal Government requires all states to report disciplinary actions to the Inspector General for Health and Human Services or risk losing Federal medicaid contributions. Although the disclosure of your social security number on this application is voluntary, Public Law 100-93 also requires the Department of Public Health to request the disclosure of your number as data that would then be available to the National Practitioner Data Bank in the event that disciplinary action should be taken against your Connecticut license. You are not required by any law to disclose your social security number, but should you decide to do so, it will be used for identification purposes only, including verifying and retrieving information.
