OIG exclusion list in Maryland

No. The state page is a browseable index of imported LEIE rows for review triage. Verify any exact or possible match in the official OIG online search or current downloadable LEIE before acting.

Not every LEIE row includes an NPI. Review name, business name, city, state, ZIP, exclusion type, and source date together, then confirm the record with OIG.

SourceCheckHealth decodes the leading Social Security Act section in the OIG EXCLTYPE code only as mandatory under section 1128(a) or permissive under section 1128(b). Use OIG's authority table for the exact subsection and current legal context.

OIG guidance for state Medicaid agencies refers to monthly checks and checks during new enrollment. SourceCheckHealth shows import freshness so reviewers can decide whether a current official lookup is needed.

The LEIE is OIG's List of Excluded Individuals/Entities: the list of all currently excluded individuals and entities, accessible via online search lookup or file download. This state page filters the imported LEIE download to one state's rows; it is a view of that national list, not a separate database.

Use it for review triage only. For exclusion list screening, OIG offers two official methods: the monthly UPDATED.csv download for bulk roster checks and the online search for confirming a single individual or entity. Verify any possible match in the official OIG source before acting.

No, and this is the most common mix-up on a state exclusion page. The federal HHS OIG LEIE is one national list; this page is that national list filtered to rows whose recorded address is in one state. Many states additionally run their own exclusion list under their own authority, with its own name, its own agency, and a scope the LEIE does not reproduce: Texas HHS OIG publishes the Texas Exclusions List, the Nevada Office of the Medicaid Inspector General publishes the NV Exclusion List, NC Medicaid's Office of Compliance and Program Integrity publishes the NC Medicaid State Excluded Provider List, and Maryland Medicaid publishes the Maryland Medicaid Sanctioned Provider List (all four verified 2026-08-05). A name absent from the federal LEIE can still appear on a state list, so a clear result here is not a search of the state list. Where SourceCheckHealth has verified a state's own source, the state page names it and links to it directly; it never merges those records into the federal table.

Not literally, though employers use it that way. Exclusion is a payment prohibition rather than an employment ban: no federal health care program payment may be made for items or services furnished by an excluded person, whether furnished directly, at their medical direction, or on their prescription or order. Texas HHS OIG states the same duty for state funds — every service provider is responsible for making sure that no excluded individuals or entities are receiving state funds (retrieved 2026-08-05). Because the employer, not the excluded person, absorbs that liability, screening before hire and monthly afterward is the normal control. The list itself records payment exclusions, not licensure, credentialing, or a hiring decision.
