How does Fonteum publish OIG LEIE exclusions?

OIG publishes the LEIE monthly. Fonteum's production serving table held 68,055 rows from the May 8, 2026 source release when checked on July 12, so it may lag the current OIG file. Results identify OIG as the source and expose available record dates; users must confirm a match at oig.hhs.gov before acting.

Does Fonteum replace a credentialing workflow platform like Verisys?

No. Verisys and comparable products manage credentialing workflows. Fonteum exposes source-specific OIG LEIE, NPPES, and PECOS records. It links rows by NPI only when both sources publish that identifier; most LEIE rows require separate name-based screening. Fonteum does not turn an NPI record into a licensure or credentialing decision.

Can I download the OIG LEIE exclusion data directly from Fonteum?

Yes. The OIG LEIE dataset is available at /sanctions as a public research surface, and the underlying structured dataset is downloadable as CSV and JSON with no account required — the LEIE is a federal public work under 17 U.S.C. § 105, so Fonteum redistributes the provenance-tagged version openly. The downloadable dataset identifies the OIG HHS LEIE file and exposes available download-date and methodology metadata. The on-demand healthcare screen is a separate product: it shows results on screen for the first 25 NPIs, while the $129 one-off certificate covers up to 25 NPIs.

Does Fonteum cross-reference OIG exclusions with NPI records?

Yes, but only where the source supports the link. Fonteum makes an exact NPI cross-reference when an OIG LEIE or PECOS row publishes the same NPI as NPPES. Most LEIE rows lack NPI; name-and-identifier screening is handled separately with its match basis and limitations visible. An absent NPI match is not a clearance.

Why does field-level provenance matter for exclusion screening audits?

Applicable program and contract rules determine screening cadence. OIG advises checking the LEIE before employing or contracting and periodically afterward, and says monthly screening best minimizes potential liability. The audit question is not merely 'did you check?' but 'against which version of the federal list, on what date, and can you show the record?' A Fonteum exclusion response exposes the OIG citation, download date, exclusion type, statutory authority, methodology, and match basis where populated; unavailable fields remain null. Confirm the named federal record and its date stamp rather than relying on a vendor's derived verdict.

Is Fonteum's data free, and what does the paid screening offer add?

The /sanctions OIG LEIE surface and the underlying research dataset are free to access and cite. The on-demand healthcare screen separately shows results on screen for the first 25 NPIs, with no free artifact or monitoring. The $129 one-off certificate covers up to 25 NPIs and provides PDF and JSON artifacts in the customer's account, including an aggregate manifest and child attestations.

How often is the OIG LEIE updated on Fonteum?

The OIG publishes the LEIE monthly. Fonteum's loaded serving table was checked at 68,055 rows with a May 8, 2026 source date on July 12, so this surface may lag OIG's latest release. Treat the listed source date as the screening basis and confirm at OIG before acting.

What should a compliance team do when Fonteum's loaded LEIE date is older than OIG's current release?

Treat Fonteum's displayed source date as the boundary of the loaded evidence, not as a promise that the table matches the publisher's newest file. Record the date used for the screen, keep the returned OIG identifiers and match basis when present, and check the current LEIE at oig.hhs.gov before a consequential decision. If the current federal file differs, retain both the dated Fonteum response and the authoritative OIG result. A missing date, NPI, or provenance field should be recorded as unavailable, not filled from another provider or inferred from publisher cadence.

How is the OIG LEIE different from SAM.gov exclusions?

The OIG LEIE (List of Excluded Individuals and Entities) and the SAM.gov exclusions list are two distinct federal sources. The OIG LEIE is maintained by the HHS Office of Inspector General and identifies individuals and entities excluded from participation in federal health-care programs under sections 1128 and 1156 of the Social Security Act. SAM.gov's exclusions cover a broader federal procurement and award context across agencies. Applicable program and contract rules determine screening cadence; OIG separately advises checking the LEIE before employing or contracting and periodically afterward, and says monthly screening best minimizes potential liability. Available records identify their source and expose download-date and methodology metadata where populated.

Can Fonteum's exclusion data integrate with our credentialing system via API?

The published healthcare-screening products do not include API access. Fonteum separately offers metered Grounding API plans with REST and MCP access; those plans are priced independently from the free on-screen healthcare screen and the one-off certificate.

How do I cite Fonteum's OIG exclusion data in a compliance report?

For a compliance report or audit response, cite the OIG LEIE as the primary source. Use the download-date, exclusion-type, statutory-authority, and methodology fields returned with the Fonteum record when present; if a field is absent, mark it unavailable and confirm current status at OIG. The /data-provenance page documents the citation format and the join methodology used when an exclusion has an exact NPI cross-reference. This keeps the citation anchored to the federal file rather than an opaque intermediate verdict.

How does Fonteum's pricing compare to enterprise exclusion-monitoring contracts?

Fonteum's /sanctions surface and downloadable OIG LEIE dataset are free. The on-demand healthcare screen shows results on screen for the first 25 NPIs. A separate $129 one-off certificate covers up to 25 NPIs and provides PDF and JSON artifacts in the customer's account. Grounding API plans are separately priced and metered. See /pricing for current product detail.

The OIG LEIE data layer

Federal exclusion data with field-level provenance

A dated federal release, not a vendor's derived list

OIG publishes the HHS LEIE on a monthly cadence. When checked on July 12, 2026, Fonteum's loaded serving table contained 68,055 rows from the May 8 release, so this page does not imply that the loaded data is current to OIG's publication schedule. Available records retain the federal citation and loaded source date; users should confirm against OIG before acting.

NPI + PECOS cross-reference in one graph

An excluded provider's OIG LEIE record is cross-referenced with their CMS NPPES NPI profile (drawn from 6.8M+ active providers) and CMS PECOS Medicare enrollment status in Fonteum's source-provenance graph. Returned fields expose available federal source, date, and match-basis metadata; fields may be absent, and the cross-reference is not an opaque proprietary verdict. Missing metadata is shown as unavailable rather than inferred from another source or vendor model. Users should confirm the named source before acting on a match.

Open-core: the exclusion surface is free

The /sanctions brand-hub page and underlying OIG LEIE research dataset are free to access and cite. The separate on-demand healthcare screen shows results on screen for the first 25 NPIs. A $129 one-off certificate covers up to 25 NPIs and delivers PDF and JSON artifacts in the customer's account.

Freshness is a source date, not a cadence promise

A publisher cadence describes when OIG ordinarily releases a file; it does not prove when Fonteum last loaded one. This comparison therefore states the observed May 8 source date and July 12 database-check date separately. A screening workflow should retain both dates, disclose the lag, and consult the official OIG source for the latest release before a consequential decision.

How it works

Ingest → provenance → deliver

STEP 1 / INGEST

Pull the OIG LEIE and NPI records from the federal source

Fonteum loads named OIG, NPPES, and PECOS files and reports available loaded dates. On July 12, 2026, OIG LEIE carried a May 8 source date and NPPES a June 10 system timestamp, so neither is described as guaranteed current to the publisher cadence.

STEP 2 / PROVENANCE

Expose available source, date, and match-basis metadata

Exclusion responses expose the oig.hhs.gov citation, download date, exclusion type, statutory authority, and methodology fields where populated. Where an exclusion is cross-referenced to an NPI, the match basis and confidence are preserved rather than collapsed — so an auditor can see why a flag attaches to a given provider.

STEP 3 / DELIVER

Free sanctions surface and one-off screening products

The 68,055 loaded exclusion records are available through the public /sanctions surface and downloadable dataset. The separate on-demand screen shows results for the first 25 NPIs; a $129 one-off certificate covers up to 25 NPIs.

Pricing comparison

Open federal data, priced for throughput — not for access

Enterprise exclusion-monitoring platforms are typically sold on per-seat or per-entity terms — frequently five-figure annual contracts — with the underlying federal lists held behind the subscription. Fonteum inverts the model: the OIG LEIE source records are federal public works under 17 U.S.C. § 105, so the /sanctions surface and downloadable dataset are free. The on-demand healthcare screen shows results on screen for the first 25 NPIs, and the $129 one-off certificate covers up to 25NPIs. Grounding API plans are separately priced and metered.

	Typical enterprise contract	Fonteum
Access to the federal exclusion list	Bundled into a paid subscription; no free tier	Free — /sanctions surface + CSV/JSON download, no account, no API key
Pricing basis	Per-seat or per-entity; five-figure annual contracts common	Free on-screen results for the first 25 NPIs; $129 one-off certificate for up to 25 NPIs
What the fee buys	Access to a proprietary derived list and workflow tooling	PDF and JSON certificate artifacts in the customer account, including an aggregate manifest and child attestations
Exit terms	Annual commitment typical	One-off certificate; no recurring healthcare-screening plan
