## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README
## US Healthcare Exclusions Scraper (HHS-OIG LEIE Screening)
> Screen the official U.S. list of healthcare providers and businesses barred from federal health care programs (the HHS-OIG List of Excluded Individuals and Entities). Search by name, state, NPI, specialty, exclusion reason or date and get clean, structured records with the party's details, the reason for exclusion and the exclusion and reinstatement dates, ready for compliance, credentialing and due-diligence workflows.

Excluded parties individuals & businesses
Reason & dates plus NPI and address
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
### What you get
Each record is a single flat exclusion record with:
- **Party name** and **entity type** (individual or business), with first / middle / last / business name
- **Provider type** and **specialty**, **NPI** and UPIN where present, and date of birth for individuals
- Full **address**: street, city, state and ZIP
- The **exclusion reason** in plain words and its legal **authority** (mandatory, permissive, civil monetary penalty or quality), plus the raw type code
- **Exclusion date**, **reinstatement date** and waiver details, and a **currently excluded** flag
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Healthcare compliance | Teams screening providers, vendors and hires against the exclusion list |
| Credentialing & payer enrolment | Groups verifying that a provider is eligible for federal programs |
| Due diligence & KYB | Investigators checking parties for federal health program sanctions |
| Monitoring | Compliance teams tracking newly excluded parties by state or date |
### How to use it
1. Add **names** to screen, or browse by **state**, **city**, **ZIP**, **NPI** or **specialty**.
2. Optionally filter by **exclusion type** (a code like `1128b4`, or words like `license` or `fraud`) and an **exclusion date range**.
3. Keep **only currently excluded** on to skip reinstated parties, set **Max Records** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Do I need an account or key?**
No. It runs out of the box on public data, no key or login required.
**What does the exclusion reason mean?**
Each exclusion cites a section of the Social Security Act. This Actor translates the code into a readable reason (for example, license revocation, conviction of program-related crimes, or fraud and kickbacks) and marks whether it is a mandatory or permissive exclusion.
**Can I check a whole list of providers at once?**
Yes. Put every name in the names field and the run screens them all, or filter by NPI to match exact identifiers.
**How do I get only the newest exclusions?**
Use the exclusion date range (excluded since / until) and keep "only currently excluded" on.
**Will I be charged if a run finds nothing?**
No. You are only charged per real exclusion record returned. A run that matches no data produces no billable results.
### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
