## 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 oig-leie-healthcare-provider-exclusion-screener-9654e3ca
```

Example prompt: Can you check if Dr. Jane Smith, NPI 1234567890, is on the OIG federal exclusion list before we credential her?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify whether a US healthcare provider or organization is federally excluded from Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal health programs. Prefer NPI lookup for authoritative, unambiguous results; use name/organization for broader screening when NPI is unavailable. Ideal for credentialing workflows, compliance checks, and pre-hire due diligence in healthcare settings.

## Known failure modes

- No NPI, name, or organization provided — returns validation error
- Invalid NPI format (not 10 digits) — returns error
- Provider not found in LEIE — returns empty/not-excluded result
- Ambiguous name match returns multiple candidates requiring manual review
- Network or upstream OIG data source unavailable — service error

## How this service works

Screen a US healthcare provider against the OIG LEIE federal exclusion list. Exact NPI match returns an authoritative exclusion; a name match returns potential matches for review. Accepts an npi, a name, or an organization.

## Output

Returns either an authoritative exclusion record (for NPI matches) or a list of potential matching excluded providers for review (for name/organization matches), including exclusion details such as exclusion type, effective date, and reinstatement date if applicable.
