## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability hhs-oig-leie-exclusion-list-screener-327b3cc3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you screen 'Advanced Care Pharmacy' in Texas against the OIG exclusion list and show me any potential matches with their exclusion type and date?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need automated, programmatic screening of individuals or businesses against the HHS-OIG LEIE exclusion list as part of a healthcare compliance, credentialing, or vendor onboarding workflow. It is especially valuable when you have a name or NPI and need to quickly identify potential exclusions with scored matches. Prefer this over manual OIG website lookups when processing multiple names programmatically or when embedding exclusion checks into an automated pipeline. Note: it returns potential matches only — a final determination requires manual confirmation on the OIG website using SSN or EIN. Do not use for employment or credit screening decisions.

## Known failure modes

- No matches found (empty candidates array, still a paid 200 response)
- Invalid NPI format (must be exactly 10 digits)
- Name too short (minimum 2 characters required)
- min_score outside allowed range 70–100
- limit exceeds maximum of 25
- Payment not provided or invalid (x402 payment required)
- List code not recognized (use GET /v1/exclusions/lists to verify valid list codes)

## How this service works

Screens a person or business name, or an NPI, against the HHS-OIG exclusion list (LEIE, Medicare and Medicaid): potential matches only, each with name score, reasons, NPI, state, specialty, exclusion type and date. Not a determination: confirm a match on the OIG online search with the SSN or EIN. Empty candidates is a paid 200. Not for employment or credit decisions. List dates and code meanings: GET /v1/exclusions/lists (free).

## Output

Returns a list of candidate matches from the OIG LEIE exclusion database, each including: a name similarity score (70–100), the reasons for exclusion, the NPI (if available), the provider's state and specialty, the exclusion type code, and the exclusion date. An empty candidates array with a 200 status is a valid (paid) response indicating no matches above the score threshold. Results are potential matches only and must be confirmed on the OIG online search tool using SSN or EIN before any action is taken.
