South Carolina Medicaid exclusion list: how to check it
Screen every provider on your South Carolina roster against the South Carolina Medicaid exclusion list — published by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS), Program Integrity— plus the federal OIG LEIE and SAM.gov, and document each check with its date. Here is the process and the source. Fonteum's free product screen covers OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, and 13 state Medicaid jurisdictions represented as of September 19, 2026; South Carolina is not currently loaded. It accepts the first 25 unique ten-digit NPI inputs and shows counts plus a matched-source breakdown on screen.

How to screen a South Carolina provider roster
- Open the South Carolina Medicaid exclusion listThe list is published by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS), Program Integrity. The primary source is at South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Always treat that page as the authority of record.
- Match by NPI when present, then use source-supported name fieldsCheck each provider on your South Carolina roster against the list by NPI where the source publishes one, and by name where it does not. Confirm any hit against the primary list before any adverse action.
- Screen the federal lists tooA South Carolina match is necessary but not sufficient. Screen the same roster against the OIG LEIE and SAM.gov, because a federal exclusion may not appear on a state list and vice versa.
- Screen every other applicable stateA provider excluded in South Carolina can relocate and bill elsewhere — and one excluded in another state may not appear on a South Carolina-only screen. For a multi-state roster, screen every applicable state at its primary source. Fonteum's product currently checks 13 state Medicaid jurisdictions represented as of September 19, 2026, not all states.
- Document the screen and set a recurring cadenceKeep a dated record of which list you checked, the date of the copy you checked, and any match. Follow the South Carolina program's current rules and source cadence; OIG separately says monthly LEIE screening best minimizes potential liability.
South Carolina exclusion screening — common questions
- How do I check the South Carolina Medicaid exclusion list?
- The South Carolina Medicaid exclusion list is published by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS), Program Integrity. Screen each provider on your roster against it by NPI and name, confirm any match at the primary source, and document the check with its date. Fonteum does not currently load the South Carolina list. Its product screen covers OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, and other supported state lists.
- Who publishes the South Carolina Medicaid exclusion list?
- Source: South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS). This guide links back to the authority of record; Fonteum does not currently load this list into its product screen. Stale or incomplete loaded coverage is indeterminate and not a clearance.
- Is screening South Carolina enough on its own?
- No. A provider excluded by South Carolina Medicaid may not appear on the federal OIG LEIE, and a provider with no South Carolina-list match may be excluded by another state. A defensible screen covers the OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, and every applicable state Medicaid list — the “excluded-anywhere” approach — not a single jurisdiction.
- How often should I re-screen South Carolina providers?
- Follow the South CarolinaMedicaid program's current rules and the source's own update cadence. OIG separately advises checking the LEIE before employing or contracting and periodically afterward, and says monthly LEIE screening best minimizes potential liability. Keep a dated record of every applicable check.
- Can Fonteum screen a South Carolina roster for free?
- Not for the South Carolina list today. Confirm South Carolinaagainst the primary source. Fonteum's on-demand screen accepts the first 25 unique ten-digit NPI inputs and currently covers OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, and supported state lists. 13 state Medicaid jurisdictions represented as of September 19, 2026. It shows counts and a matched-source breakdown on screen only. Public data only; no PHI — start at the on-demand screen.
- What does a South Carolina exclusion mean for payment?
- An in-force exclusion means the program may not pay for items or services the excluded party furnishes, orders, or prescribes. Civil monetary penalties, assessments, and repayment can apply when federal programs are billed for items or services furnished by an excluded party. Applicable amounts change over time; confirm current rules and every match at the primary source (see OIG guidance).
