`check_provider_exclusion`

Pack: leie · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/leie/mcp

Is this healthcare provider barred from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health programs? Screens a person or business name — or an NPI — against the HHS OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities, the list you are required to check before paying, employing or contracting with a provider. Answers “is Dr X excluded”, “check this provider against the OIG exclusion list”, “has this practice been barred from Medicare”, and pre-payment or credentialing screening.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	no	Provider or business name to screen, e.g. “John Smith” or “Acme Home Health”. Any order; surname-first works too.
`npi`	string	no	The provider’s 10-digit NPI, if you have it. An NPI match is an identification rather than a name lead — always pass it when known.
`state`	string	no	Two-letter state code to narrow candidates, e.g. “CA”. Useful when a common name returns several people.
`limit`	number	no	Maximum candidates to return (default 10, max 50).
