OIG Exclusion List Search (LEIE)

Check a provider or business against the Office of Inspector General's exclusion list: the List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE), the federal register of parties barred from Medicare, Medicaid, and every other federal health program. This search runs on the August 2026 file, straight from OIG's monthly refresh. Check by 10-digit NPI for a definitive answer, or search by name for potential matches.

Carry an NPI on OIG's file (10% of rows)
Two ways to check

NPI check is definitive. Name search finds potential matches.

They answer different questions, and this tool never blurs them.

Check by NPI (definitive)

Paste a 10-digit NPI and the answer is exact: on the current list or not on it. A clean result means not on the August 2026 file, never "never excluded". OIG replaces the file every month and reinstated parties drop off, so the date matters and we show it.

Search by name (potential matches)

Most of OIG's file, about 9 in 10 rows, lists no NPI at all, so name search is the only way to see it. Every name result is labeled Potential match · verify with OIG because confirming identity takes OIG's SSN/EIN step, which we don't hold. Rows that do carry an NPI get a one-click definitive check.

Screening a whole roster? This free tool checks one party at a time. In the app, your saved list is checked against the OIG exclusion list at once, and re-checked automatically every month. Bring a CSV or build the list by searching.

Read the result right

What a result here means, and what it doesn't

The honest caveats

• Results are checked against the LEIE file published August 2026; OIG refreshes it monthly.
• The LEIE is not SAM.gov: full federal screening also requires a SAM.gov check, which this tool does not cover.
• Name matches are potential matches pending OIG identity verification.
• Not legal advice, and not a substitute for OIG's official tool in a credentialing file.

Waivers and reinstatement

A small number of excluded parties hold a §1128 waiver and may legally bill in the waived program or state; when a waiver is on OIG's file, this tool always shows it. Reinstated parties simply drop off the next monthly file, which is why every answer here is dated to the file it was checked against. The long version lives in our plain-English guide to the exclusion list.

Where this data comes from. Every result on this page comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General's public LEIE download file (oig.hhs.gov), which OIG replaces monthly. We rebuild this tool from each new file automatically, so results always reflect the current list, stamped with its publication month. A clean result means the party is not on the current file, never "never excluded". Name matches are potential matches only: OIG's own verification step (SSN/EIN) is the only way to confirm identity, and this tool does not hold that data. This page is not legal advice and is not a substitute for OIG's official online searchable database in a credentialing file. Not affiliated with or endorsed by OIG or CMS.

Exclusion status is one column.

Prospect 811 puts it next to what a rep or a compliance check actually needs: the provider's public billing identity, refreshed monthly, in one place.
