# OIG exclusions recorded with an NPI

URL: https://docs.healthcare.dev/reference/providers/oig-exclusions-recorded-with-an-npi

```http
GET https://api.healthcare.dev/v1/providers/{npi}/exclusions
```

Exclusions from the HHS OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) recorded with this NPI, matched by NPI as listed in the OIG file: exclusion type and authority, exclusion date, reinstatement date and waiver. `exclusion_recorded` is true when the current file lists an exclusion in effect with this NPI. Most LEIE records carry no NPI, so `exclusion_recorded: false` means no exclusion recorded with this NPI, never that the provider is not excluded: search by name (`/v1/exclusions?q=`) and confirm identity with OIG's online search, which verifies SSN or EIN. `note` says this in words; show it with the answer.

Requires an API key: `Authorization: Bearer hdev_live_...`. See [Authentication](/authentication).

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `npi` | string | yes | 10-digit National Provider Identifier | `1881018208` |

## Query parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `view` | "compact" \| "standard" \| "full" | no | How much of each record to return (default `full`). `compact`: `id`, `npi`, `entity_type`, `name`, `exclusion_type`, `exclusion_date`, `reinstatement_date`, `status`, `match_score` (search results) (fewest tokens, for agents). `standard`: every field except `replaced_by`. `full`: every field. | `compact` |
| `fields` | string | no | Comma-separated fields to return instead of a view. Valid fields: `id`, `npi`, `upin`, `entity_type`, `name`, `general`, `specialty`, `address`, `exclusion_type`, `exclusion_authority`, `exclusion_category`, `exclusion_date`, `reinstatement_date`, `waiver_date`, `waiver_state`, `status`, `effective_start`, `effective_end`, `replaced_by`, `match_score` (search results). | `id,npi,entity_type` |

### Fields

| Field | Type | Always present | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `npi` | string | yes |  |
| `exclusion_recorded` | boolean | yes | Whether the current OIG file lists an exclusion in effect with this NPI. false means none is recorded with this NPI, not that the provider is not excluded. |

| `note` | string | yes | How the answer was matched, in plain words: show it with the data |
| `exclusions` | OigExclusion[] | yes |  |

## Errors

Errors are `application/problem+json` ([RFC 9457](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9457)). Branch on `type`, not on `title`. See [Errors](/errors).

| Status | `type` | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid-request` | A parameter or the body failed validation; `errors` lists each field. |
| 401 | `unauthorized` | Missing, malformed or revoked API key. |
| 404 | `not-found` | No record with that id (retired records are still returned). |
| 429 | `rate-limited / quota-exceeded` | Too many requests per second (retry after `Retry-After`), or the monthly quota is used up. |
| 503 | `dataset-unavailable / unavailable` | The dataset has no published version yet, or the service is degraded. |
