Screen your roster against the real LEIE

This demo matches against the genuine OIG LEIE database file. No fabricated records. Every match shown below is a real federal exclusion record.

Bundled subset loaded

OIG LEIE, July 2026 release (captured August 8, 2026)

Bundled with this page: 15,599 real LEIE records, every exclusion dated January 1, 2020 or later, out of 83,665 total records in the release (latest exclusion in file: July 20, 2026). Source: HHS OIG exclusions database, oig.hhs.gov/exclusions/exclusions_list.asp.

For a complete screen, load the full file: download UPDATED.csv (about 15 MB) from OIG, then load it here. It is parsed in your browser and never uploaded anywhere.

Drop your staff roster CSV here or click to browse. Columns: last_name, first_name, dob (optional). A full-name column works too.

The sample roster is 9 fictitious employees plus two planted real LEIE exclusions (one exact, one deliberately misspelled) so you can see a hit and a fuzzy hit. The planted rows are labeled in the file itself. DOB strengthens match confidence but is optional.

Results appear here

Run the sample roster or upload your own CSV. You get: total screened, potential matches with a confidence score and the matched LEIE record, and a dated screening log you can print for your compliance file.

This page prints as the log only. File it in your compliance binder.
How it works

Three steps, once a month

1

Upload the roster

Any CSV export from your payroll or HR system. Last name, first name, and (optionally) date of birth. It is read locally in your browser and never transmitted.

2

Fuzzy match against the LEIE

Names are normalized and compared with Jaro-Winkler similarity on last and first name, corroborated by DOB when present. Misspellings, hyphenations, and transposed name parts still get caught. Anything at or above the review threshold is flagged for human verification.

3

File the dated log

One click produces the artifact auditors actually ask for: who was screened, on what date, against which LEIE release, what matched, and the disposition. Print it or save the PDF.

Why monthly

The math on skipping a month is brutal

OIG updates the LEIE every month, and monthly screening of employees and contractors is the documented standard of care. If an excluded person is on your payroll, every claim they touch is exposed.

$25,595

Per claimed item or service

The 2026 inflation-adjusted civil monetary penalty for employing or contracting with an excluded individual, per item or service claimed to a federal health care program. Treble damages can apply on top.

$112,000

One employee, one settlement

Castle Biosciences agreed to pay $112,000 under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law for allegedly employing a single excluded individual. OIG publishes settlements like this on an ongoing basis. Self-disclosure with a documented screening history is dramatically cheaper than discovery.

Pricing

$29 a month. That is the whole price list.

Incumbent exclusion-screening services start at $30 to $40 a month, cap the number of screens, and require you to hand over your employee roster. Exclusion Screen is flat, unlimited, and keeps your roster in your browser.

FAQ

Questions auditors and admins ask

Is the exclusion data real?

Yes. Every record on this page comes from the OIG LEIE database file published at oig.hhs.gov. This demo bundles the 15,599 records with exclusion dates from January 1, 2020 onward (out of 83,665 total in the July 2026 release, captured August 8, 2026). Load the full UPDATED.csv from OIG with one click above for a complete screen. Nothing is fabricated, ever.

What happens when there is a potential match?

The tool shows you the real LEIE record, a confidence score, and why it matched (name similarity, DOB corroboration). It is flagged for human review and marked in the log. Per OIG guidance, you then verify identity against the online database at exclusions.oig.hhs.gov, which supports SSN verification, before taking any action. A name match alone is never proof.

Where does my roster go?

Nowhere. The CSV is parsed by JavaScript in your browser tab, the matching runs on your machine, and the log is generated locally. There is no upload endpoint for roster data at all. Close the tab and it is gone.

Why do I have to screen monthly?

OIG updates the LEIE monthly, and its guidance identifies monthly screening as the way to minimize CMP exposure. Someone hired clean in March can be excluded in April. State Medicaid programs increasingly mandate monthly checks explicitly. The dated log proves you actually did it.

Is this legal advice or an official OIG service?

No. Exclusion Screen is an independent screening tool and is not affiliated with HHS or OIG. It does not provide legal advice. It gives you a documented, repeatable screening process and the audit artifact to prove it.
