Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## LEIE Healthcare Exclusion Screening (HHS-OIG) Every healthcare employer, hospital, pharmacy, staffing agency, and payer in the US is required to screen staff and vendors against the **HHS-OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE)** — and to re-check it **monthly**. Hiring or paying an excluded party can mean serious civil monetary penalties. This Actor does both sides of that job. ### Two modes **Screen a list** — give it the people/entities you employ or pay; it returns any that appear on the exclusion list, matched by NPI (exact) or name. ```json { "mode": "screen", "screenList": [ { "name": "ACME HOME HEALTH INC", "ref": "vendor-118" }, { "name": "JANE DOE", "npi": "1234567890", "ref": "emp-4471" } ] } ```` Returns, per query: `matched`, `match_type` (`npi_exact` / `name_exact`), and the full exclusion record(s). **Filter the list** — pull exclusions by state, specialty, or exclusion type for analysis or list-building. ```json { "mode": "filter", "state": "TX", "specialty": "PHARMACY" } ``` ### Fields returned Name / business name, NPI, general type, specialty, city/state/zip, exclusion type (OIG authority code), exclusion date, reinstatement date. ### Who uses this - **Healthcare employers & staffing/credentialing firms** — the mandatory monthly screen. - **Compliance & GRC teams** — evidence for audits. - **Payers & PBMs** — vendor and provider vetting. ### Source & cadence Federal public dataset (oig.hhs.gov), downloaded fresh each run and refreshed by OIG monthly — so a scheduled monthly run keeps your screening current. Public data, no login. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): screen = check a list of people/entities against the exclusion list; filter = pull exclusions by state/specialty. ## `screenList` (type: `array`): For screen mode. Each item: { "name": "JOHN SMITH" or "ACME HOME HEALTH", "npi": "1234567890" (optional), "ref": "your-id" (optional) }. ## `state` (type: `string`): 2-letter state code, e.g. TX. ## `specialty` (type: `string`): Substring match on specialty, e.g. NURSING, PHARMACY, HOME HEALTH. ## `exclusionType` (type: `string`): OIG exclusion authority code, e.g. 1128a1, 1128b5. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): Cap the number of exclusion records returned in filter mode (leave empty for all matches). ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "screen", "screenList": [] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("civicdataforge/leie-exclusion-screening").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
