Choosing an exclusion screening provider is a compliance decision with real financial and legal consequences. To help healthcare organizations make an informed choice, we conducted an independent secret shopper evaluation of the leading exclusion screening services in September 2025, requesting quotes for an organization with 2,000 employees and 1,000 vendors.
Below is a factual comparison based on direct sales inquiries, published pricing, and product demonstrations. All pricing was obtained through direct quotes during the evaluation period.
Full-service means the provider handles match investigation and identity verification on your behalf, rather than flagging potential matches for your team to resolve. This is the apples-to-apples comparison for organizations that want compliance handled for them.
| Provider | Monthly Cost | Setup / Onboarding Fee | Contract Term | Evaluation Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exclusion Screening | $460/mo (2,000 screens) | $200 | 1-year term | September 2025 |
| Verify Comply (Ultimate) | $602/mo (2,000 screens) | $2,640 | 1-year term | September 2025 |
| ProviderTrust | $1,300/mo (1,500 employees + 1,500 vendors at $0.35/person + $350 software fee) | $1,500 | 1-year term with 5% annual escalator | September 2025 |
| Streamline Verify (Enterprise) | $3,500/mo (2,000 records) | No setup fee | 1-year contract | September 2025 |
| Verisys | Quote required (demo pending at time of evaluation) | Unknown | Unknown | September 2025 |
Some providers offer lower-cost “self-service” tiers. What this means in practice: their software flags potential matches, and then your compliance team is responsible for investigating each one to determine whether the match is actually the same person. This is the hardest, most time-consuming, and most legally consequential part of exclusion screening.
We believe that is the screening company’s job, not yours. Resolving matches requires expertise in identity verification, knowledge of how exclusion databases work, and an understanding of the legal implications. Passing that work back to the customer shifts the compliance risk back to you — which defeats the purpose of hiring a screening provider in the first place.
Exclusion Screening provides full-service resolution-focused screening starting at $30 per 100 screens per month — comparable to or less than what other providers charge for self-service software alone.
| Provider | Self-Service Monthly Cost | What Falls on Your Team |
|---|---|---|
| Verify Comply (Portal Pro) | $39.95/mo flat fee | Investigating and resolving all unverified matches flagged by the system |
| Streamline Verify (Professional) | $1,295/mo (2,000 records) | Managing verification of all potential matches from monthly screenings |
| Exclusion Screening (Full Service) | Starting at $30/mo per 100 screens | Nothing — we handle match investigation and identity verification for you |
| Feature | Exclusion Screening | Verify Comply | ProviderTrust | Streamline Verify |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OIG LEIE Screening | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| GSA SAM Screening | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| State Medicaid Lists | All 46 available | All standard federal and state lists included | Federal and state | Federal and state |
| Identity Verification Method | Multi-point identity verification with documented resolution logic | DeepScan (SSN/EIN/NPI matching); primary source verification via phone/email | SSN or EIN/TIN matching only | Not specified (Enterprise tier handles verification) |
| Monthly Monitoring | Yes, databases update daily in SAFER platform | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Vendor/Contractor Screening | Yes | Yes | Yes (separate pricing) | Yes |
| SFTP Integration | Available | Available | $500/mo add-on | No fee |

As part of our evaluation, we documented the sales experience with each provider from initial contact through demo and pricing delivery.
| Provider | Initial Contact | Time to Quote | Overall Impression |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exclusion Screening | Easy online booking, good availability | Within 1 hour of demo | Quick and easy to get direct contact; demo was easy to follow and clear |
| Verify Comply | Contact form only (no online booking); geofilter blocked non-US access initially | 2 days (after follow-up reminders) | Sent detailed information and pricing but required chasing; poor follow-up after initial contact |
| ProviderTrust | Book-a-demo button routes to general sales contact form | Within 1 hour of demo | Informative and helpful on the phone; booking process was somewhat disorganized |
| Streamline Verify | Demo booking page on website; contacted by email | Provided via email before demo (1 week wait for demo availability) | Long wait for demo; demo was brief and the representative appeared disinterested |
| Verisys | Contact form on website | Demo not yet completed at time of evaluation | Required 4 emails to reach the correct department; once connected, well organized |
Most screening providers flag potential matches and leave the investigation to your compliance team. Exclusion Screening confirms identity using multiple data points and documented logic to determine whether a match is truly the same individual or entity. This reduces both false positives and false negatives.
Exclusion Screening was founded by nationally recognized former federal prosecutors with over 70 years of combined experience in healthcare fraud enforcement, including the former National Health Care Fraud Coordinator for the Department of Justice. This legal expertise informs every aspect of the screening process.
At $460 per month for 2,000 full-service screens with a $200 setup fee, Exclusion Screening offers the most competitive pricing among full-service providers — less than what some competitors charge for self-service software where you still do the investigation yourself. There are no annual price escalators.
The proprietary SAFER platform screens against 42+ federal and state exclusion databases and updates daily as databases are refreshed. Clients access their screening results, reports, and compliance documentation through a dedicated portal.
