There is no single national exclusion list. A compliant screening program checks the OIG’s List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE), the GSA System for Award Management (SAM), the CMS Preclusion List, and a state Medicaid exclusion list for every state where the organization is licensed, operates, or bills — plus sanctions from OFAC, the FDA Debarment List, the DEA, and applicable state professional licensing boards. Exclusion Screening maintains coverage across 42+ databases; this hub is where the full reference lives.

If you’re screening against fewer than a dozen databases, your coverage probably isn’t where your auditor expects it to be. The gap is usually state Medicaid lists and vendor chains.
