An Exclusion Screening LLC alternative that ships a signed attestation
Exclusion Screening LLC is a managed service that screens providers and vendors against the OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, and state Medicaid exclusion lists on your behalf. Fonteum provides an on-demand screen for the first 25 NPIs across the full , SAM.gov, and 13 currently loaded state Medicaid lists. The free result stays on screen; a paid certificate pack is a separate one-off product after checkout and account roster submission. Public data only; no PHI.

Fonteum vs Exclusion Screening LLC
| Dimension | Exclusion Screening LLC | Fonteum |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery model | Managed service — staff run the screen and return results to the client on an engagement basis. | Self-serve on-demand result for the first 25 NPIs; no free artifact or email delivery. A paid certificate pack is submitted separately after checkout. |
| Lists screened | Markets screening across OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, and state Medicaid exclusion lists. | OIG LEIE + SAM.gov + 13currently loaded state Medicaid lists, plus a separate “compromised-anywhere” layer for OIG Corporate Integrity Agreements and CMS civil money penalties. |
| Report artifact integrity | Delivers a screening report; the cryptographic basis of the result is not publicly documented. | The paid certificate pack carries an aggregate Ed25519-signed manifest and signed child artifacts. Those signatures cover the generated artifacts, not the underlying registry facts. |
| Federal source citation | Results summarize the lists checked; field-level federal source and date are not surfaced per match. | Matches expose the source URL, dataset id, observation date, and digest fields available on the response; fields may be absent by source. |
| Pricing model | Pricing is not publicly listed; engagements are quote-based. | The on-screen screen is free for the first 25 NPIs. The separate certificate pack costs $129 once for up to 25 NPIs. |
| Turnaround | Service turnaround depends on the engagement schedule. | The first 25 NPIs are screened on demand. The free result is on screen only; no reviewed-artifact SLA is published. |
Comparison reflects each provider's publicly described product category and posture as of the review date above. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, the cell says so rather than estimating. Fonteum names no figure it cannot source to a federal record.
The same multi-list screen, self-serve and re-derivable
Self-serve, not an engagement
A managed service is a fit when you want screening run for you on a schedule. Fonteum's published free workflow screens the first 25 NPIs on demand and keeps the result on screen. The paid certificate is a separate one-off account workflow.
Compromised-anywhere across the currently loaded lists
Fonteum screens OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, and 13 currently loaded state Medicaid lists together, and flags OIG Corporate Integrity Agreements and CMS civil money penalties as a separate integrity-flag layer — so an exclusion in any one jurisdiction surfaces.
Re-derivable, not a report you trust
The paid certificate pack signs its aggregate manifest and child artifacts. Those signatures cover the generated artifact bytes, while the retained source metadata lets an auditor check consequential matches against the named public authority.
Common questions
- How is Fonteum different from Exclusion Screening LLC?
- Exclusion Screening LLC is a managed service: its staff screen the providers, contractors, and vendors you bill for against the OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, and state Medicaid exclusion lists and return a report. Fonteum's free workflow checks the first 25 NPIs against the OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, and supported loaded state Medicaid lists and shows counts plus a matched-source breakdown on screen; the other states are not covered. The separate $129 one-off certificate pack accepts up to 25 NPIs after checkout and account roster submission. Its signatures cover the generated artifacts, not the underlying registry facts.
- What lists does Fonteum screen against?
- OIG LEIE (federal healthcare exclusions), SAM.gov (federal debarment), and 13 currently loaded state Medicaid exclusion lists, combined into one “excluded-anywhere” signal — plus a “compromised-anywhere” layer for OIG Corporate Integrity Agreements and CMS civil money penalties. Matches expose the source and observation fields available on the response.
- Is the first screen really free?
- Yes. The on-demand workflow screens the first 25 unique ten-digit NPI inputs and shows counts plus a matched-source breakdown on screen. It creates no free download, email, or monitoring enrollment. The certificate pack is a separate paid product. Start at /screening.
- What does the attestation prove?
- A paid certificate signature can show that the signed artifact bytes have not changed since signing. It does not establish that every source field is present or current, and it does not create a deterministic signature link from the underlying provenance rows. Confirm consequential matches at the primary source.
- Can Fonteum run on a recurring schedule?
- Not as a published healthcare-screening plan. The free result and paid certificate pack are both one-off workflows; recurring roster monitoring, alerts, and recurring artifacts are not currently offered. See the screening guide.
- Does Fonteum publish pricing?
- Yes. The on-demand result is free for the first 25 NPIs. The one-off certificate pack costs $129 for up to 25 NPIs. Exclusion Screening LLC does not publicly list pricing; engagements are quote-based. See /pricing.
