OIG exclusion search
Check a new hire, a contractor, or a provider against the federal exclusion list before they start.
File: LEIE September 2026, dated 10 September 2026, replaced monthly. SAM public extract, 22 September 2026. Plainroster is not the OIG and not SAM.
How to read a result
- Enter the NPI if you have it. A hit on that number is a confirmed row for that number.
- If you only have a name, enter the last name and the first name.
- Read the list. LEIE and SAM are labeled on the row.
- If the row has no NPI, the badge stays Unconfirmed. It is not stored as excluded.
NPI 1760461826 is on the September 2026 LEIE as Criselda Calayan Abad-Santos, excluded 20 January 2025. That NPI match is a confirmed list row, and it attaches to the provider record for that number. A search for a common name can also return rows with no NPI. Those stay Unconfirmed. They are not joined to a provider and they are not emailed as a confirmed match.
What is the LEIE?
The LEIE is the HHS Office of Inspector General’s List of Excluded Individuals and Entities. People and organizations on it are excluded from federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. OIG replaces the public file monthly. This search reads the September 2026 file, dated 10 September 2026, and the SAM public extract dated 22 September 2026. A result is the list row. It is not a retelling of the case, and it is not a decision by Plainroster.
How does someone get on the OIG exclusion list?
OIG excludes under sections of the Social Security Act. Common grounds include certain criminal convictions, patient abuse, health care fraud, and license revocation or surrender. The row names the exclusion type and the date. This page does not summarize the underlying case or the evidence. Read the type on the row, then open the OIG record if you need the program details. A matching name, without the same NPI, is not enough to treat the person as excluded.
How often should I check the OIG exclusion list?
Check before someone starts, and check again every month while they are on the roster. Federal guidance treats the monthly check as the ordinary cadence, because OIG replaces the file on that schedule. SAM’s public extract is daily. Monitoring on this site reruns a roster of up to 50 people against the loaded files and emails a change when a compared field moves. A name-only hit is not emailed as a confirmed exclusion.
