Worked OIG record example
Follow one imported LEIE row through verification
The example keeps one imported LEIE row's name, location, exclusion fields, and source snapshot together before a reviewer moves to the official OIG search. It is a record-review walkthrough, not a current-status determination.
Last verified: 2026-07-26. date_retrieved: 2026-07-26. OIG's LEIE quick tips state that a matching name alone is not sufficient and direct reviewers to verify an individual with an SSN or an entity with an EIN in the official searchable database when authorized identifiers are available.

FAQ
Practical notes
Where should an OIG exclusion lookup start?
Start with exact identifiers such as NPI when available, review imported LEIE rows by state or lookup result, and verify any possible match in the official OIG online search or current LEIE download.
Are OIG search results a final compliance decision?
No. Search results and imported rows are review aids. They do not provide legal clearance, complete credentialing, licensure verification, or a final hiring decision.
Why check source freshness during LEIE search?
OIG replaces the downloadable active-exclusions file monthly. Source freshness shows which local import was screened so reviewers can decide whether a current official lookup is needed.
