What it does

The actor screens the HHS-OIG LEIE (List of Excluded Individuals/Entities), applies the filters you pass as input, and writes one normalized record per excluded party to the run's dataset. Screen a batch of names, or browse the list by state, city, ZIP, NPI, specialty, exclusion authority, entity type and exclusion date. Missing source values are returned as null, and an optional paid AI add-on turns each exclusion's legal authority and status into a plain-English compliance advisory with a risk level.

Data covers parties excluded from federal health care programs as published in the HHS-OIG LEIE. It is independent and has no affiliation with the HHS Office of Inspector General.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns two currently-excluded California parties with the AI advisory on.

{
  "states": ["CA"],
  "maxRecords": 2,
  "onlyCurrentlyExcluded": true,
  "withAiRisk": true,
  "entityType": "all"
}

To screen specific parties, put their names in names (for example ["ADAMS SQUARE PHARMACY","JOHN SMITH"]). Every input field is optional; with an empty input the actor browses the prefilled state (CA).

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~hhs-oig-exclusions-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"names":["ADAMS SQUARE PHARMACY","JOHN SMITH"],"onlyCurrentlyExcluded":true,"maxRecords":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~hhs-oig-exclusions-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"states":["TX"],"specialties":["NURSING"],"maxRecords":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/hhs-oig-exclusions-scraper \
  --input '{"npis":["1234567890"]}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per exclusion record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Add-on event. The AI compliance advisory (ai_risk) is billed separately, and only when it produces usable output.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 20 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxRecords.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The filter combination matched no exclusions. Loosen filters (for example remove state or widen the date range), or double-check the name spelling. Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I screen a list of employees or vendors? Put every name in names. The actor matches each as a case-insensitive substring across last, first, middle and business name, so one run screens the whole batch.

What is the difference between mandatory and permissive exclusions? exclusionAuthority reflects the legal basis. Mandatory exclusions are required by statute (for example program-related convictions); permissive exclusions are at the OIG's discretion (for example license actions). The exclusionReason field gives the plain-text reason.

Why is reinstatementDate null? The party has not been reinstated, so they remain currently excluded. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Should I rely on this for compliance decisions? Use it as a screening aid. Always verify a positive match against the official HHS-OIG LEIE and the party's identifiers before acting. The optional AI advisory is a summary, not legal advice.

Is this an official HHS-OIG tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the HHS Office of Inspector General. It reads only publicly available LEIE data. Use the results in accordance with the source's terms and applicable laws.
