You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

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 ## HHS-OIG LEIE Healthcare Exclusion Tracker – Provider Sanctions API An **HHS-OIG LEIE API** and healthcare-exclusion feed that downloads the official List of Excluded Individuals/Entities and normalizes each into a clean record: excluded individual or business, specialty, NPI, exclusion type and dates. Use it to build a **provider-screening/exclusion-check tool**, a credentialing safeguard, or a payer compliance feed — screening against LEIE is federally required for anyone billing Medicare/Medicaid. ### Who uses it Healthcare compliance and credentialing teams, payers and health plans, staffing and locum agencies, pharmacies, and provider-screening/verification products. ### Why this is worth charging for Employing or contracting an OIG-excluded provider exposes an organization to civil monetary penalties per claim — screening is mandatory. OIG publishes LEIE only as a monthly CSV with fixed date codes and placeholder NPIs. This actor parses the CSV robustly (quoted fields and all), normalizes names/dates and drops placeholder NPIs, and lets you filter by name, NPI or state to screen your roster. ### Output Each dataset item is one normalized record: ```json { "excludedParty": "JOHN A SMITH", "entityType": "Individual", "lastName": "SMITH", "firstName": "JOHN", "general": "PHYSICIAN", "specialty": "INTERNAL MEDICINE", "npi": "1234567890", "dob": "1970-01-01", "address": "1 MAIN ST, STE 2", "city": "BOSTON", "state": "MA", "zip": "02118", "exclusionType": "1128a1", "exclusionDate": "2023-01-15", "reinstateDate": null, "source": "HHS-OIG LEIE" } ```` ### Input | Field | Description | |---|---| | `lastName` | Filter by individual last name (substring match). | | `firstName` | Filter by individual first name (substring match). | | `businessName` | Filter by excluded business name (substring match). | | `npi` | Exact NPI to screen against the exclusion list. | | `state` | Filter by state. | | `exclusionType` | Filter by exclusion authority code, e.g. 1128a1. | | `csvUrl` | Advanced: override the LEIE CSV source URL (defaults to the official OIG UPDATED.csv). | | `onlyNewSinceLastRun` | Recommended for schedules — skips records already returned by a previous run using persisted state, so you're only charged for genuinely new items. | | `maxItems` | Stop after this many normalized records. | ### Pricing (Pay-Per-Event) - **`query`** — $0.03, charged once per run for the API query/poll. - **`exclusion-record`** — $0.01 per normalized record pushed. This is the primary event. - `apify-actor-start` (Apify-managed) — covers baseline compute per run. The query event covers downloading and parsing the full monthly LEIE file; screening a roster returns only your matches. A monthly scheduled screen with onlyNewSinceLastRun flags newly-added exclusions. ### Source & reliability Data comes from the official OIG LEIE downloadable CSV. Dates in YYYYMMDD are converted to ISO and placeholder NPIs (0000000000) are dropped. No key or proxies required. Run `npm test` for the offline self-test covering the normalizer, including edge cases and missing-field handling. ### FAQ **Is there an API for the OIG exclusion list?** OIG publishes LEIE as a monthly CSV; this actor turns it into a queryable, normalized API you can screen names or NPIs against. **Can I screen my provider roster?** Yes. Filter by NPI, last name or business name; run monthly with onlyNewSinceLastRun to catch newly-added exclusions. Always confirm a hit against OIG's official verification before acting. *** *SEO keywords: OIG LEIE API, healthcare exclusion list, provider sanction screening, LEIE scraper, Medicare exclusion check, compliance credentialing API* # Actor input Schema ## `lastName` (type: `string`): Filter by individual last name (substring match). ## `firstName` (type: `string`): Filter by individual first name (substring match). ## `businessName` (type: `string`): Filter by excluded business name (substring match). ## `npi` (type: `string`): Exact NPI to screen against the exclusion list. ## `state` (type: `string`): Filter by state. ## `exclusionType` (type: `string`): Filter by exclusion authority code, e.g. 1128a1. ## `csvUrl` (type: `string`): Advanced: override the LEIE CSV source URL (defaults to the official OIG UPDATED.csv). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many normalized records have been pushed.

Uses persisted state to skip records already returned earlier, so a recurring schedule only charges for genuinely new items. ## Actor input object example ```json { "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true } ``` # 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("deadwood_data_solutions/hhs-oig-leie-exclusion-tracker").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 📖?
