What it checks

The Legal & Exclusions API provides screening against the OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE). Healthcare organizations must check providers, employees, and contractors against the LEIE before hiring, contracting, or credentialing. Search by last name, first name, business name, NPI, state, or exclusion type. Quick NPI exclusion check endpoint for fast verification.

Quick NPI exclusion check — fast yes/no verification for a single NPI
Exclusion details: type (mandatory/permissive), date, specialty, and reinstatement info
Supports both individual and entity exclusion searches
Monthly OIG LEIE data updates in production
Exclusion type codes: 1128(a)(1-4) mandatory, 1128(b) permissive

Method	Path	What it does
GET	/v1/legal/oig/search	Search the OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities.	Docs
GET	/v1/legal/oig/check/{npi}	Quick check if a provider NPI is on the OIG exclusion list.	Docs
GET	/v1/legal/exclusions/check	Checks a party against the SAM.gov public federal exclusions list (about 169,000 active debarments and exclusions, refreshed daily). A UEI, CAGE or NPI match is exact. A name match is exact after normalization (punctuation and legal suffixes ignored for businesses; one optional middle name for individuals) and is only a weak signal: the list has no date of birth, so people who share a name cannot be told apart. Business names must have two or more words.	Docs
