OIG LEIE research artifact — source and release date shown.
The static research artifact for OIG release 2026-05-08 contains 83,001 rows — 79,605 individuals and 3,396 entities. It classifies 43,005 rows as mandatory (1128a) and 39,747 as permissive (1128b). This artifact count is separate from Fonteum's production serving table: rows when checked July 12, 2026. Neither count establishes current completeness; confirm a consequential record at the OIG public lookup.
What the data shows
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.
Top 5 states by exclusion count: CA (9,655), FL (8,957), TX (5,866), NY (4,405), OH (3,759). In this dated artifact, CA + FL + TX together account for 29.5% of the rows.
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 this artifact); entity records can lack an NPI.
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.
