Frequently asked questions
What is the LEIE?
The List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) is maintained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG). It lists parties excluded from participating in federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Is this tool an official OIG website?
No. usnpi.com is an independent directory that searches a copy of public LEIE data matched by NPI. Always confirm results on the official OIG exclusions website before credentialing or contracting decisions.
What should I do if an NPI appears excluded?
Verify the listing on oig.hhs.gov, review exclusion type and effective date, and follow your organization’s compliance process. An exclusion does not by itself prove criminal guilt or care quality.
