Fonteum · Sanctions · OIG LEIE

Every excluded healthcare provider — the complete federal sanctions list, source-traced.

Fonteum snapshot 2026-05-08: 83,001 active exclusions in the OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities — 79,605 individuals, 3,396 entities. 43,005 mandatory (1128a) and 39,747 permissive (1128b) exclusions. Federal healthcare programs only — state Medicaid exclusion lists are separate, and the LEIE-vs-state lag is documented explicitly in our methodology. Verify any single record at the OIG public lookup; full reproducibility of every aggregate stat above from the source CSV.

LEIE covers federal Medicare/Medicaid/other federal-program exclusions only. 42 states maintain separate Medicaid exclusion lists with documented latency to LEIE. The reinstated_count is 0 by source-design — OIG removes reinstated parties from the UPDATED.csv each month rather than retaining a historical state column.

What the data shows

Mandatory vs permissive

43,005 mandatory (1128a — program-related convictions, patient abuse, healthcare-fraud felonies) and 39,747 permissive (1128b — license actions, kickbacks, claims-based exclusions). Mandatory exclusions are 5-year minimum; permissive are case-by-case.

State concentration

Top 5 states by exclusion count: CA (9,655), FL (8,957), TX (5,866), NY (4,405), OH (3,759). Concentration tracks population for the top tier; CA + FL + TX together account for 29.5% of the active list.

Specialty mix

Top 5 specialties: NURSE/NURSES AIDE (34,493); OWNER/OPERATOR (3,181); PERSONAL CARE PROVID (3,143); HEALTH CARE AIDE (2,951); NO KNOWN AFFILIATION (2,131). NPI is captured on 8,551 records (10.3% of the list); entity records typically lack an NPI by source-convention.

YoY (most recent complete year): 2025 added 2,549 new exclusions (-585 vs prior year). The current calendar year is partial-data and is not used for trend reporting.

What the LEIE does not cover

Federal exclusion only. State Medicaid exclusion lists are separate registries with documented latency to the federal LEIE; 42 states maintain their own list. SAM.gov procurement debarment is a separate dataset with overlapping but non-identical scope. Reinstated parties are removed from the LEIE UPDATED.csv each month — historical reinstatement state is not retained in the source file. Fonteum surfaces these gaps explicitly in the methodology rather than papering over them.

Compliance posture

We don’t sell ranking and don’t accept payment to move an exclusion record up the list. For final hire decisions, verify licensing, insurance, and references directly with the applicable licensing or credentialing body.

No bulk-licensing source family is currently ingested for this vertical. Hire-time checking still routes through the body named above.
