State Medicaid exclusion lists: every state’s official list in one place

A list kept by a state Medicaid program of people and businesses that are excluded, suspended or terminated from that state’s Medicaid program. States use different names: sanction list, termination list, precluded providers or suspended and ineligible providers.

Not always. OIG’s list covers exclusions from all federal health care programs. A state can exclude or terminate someone from its own Medicaid program without that person appearing on OIG’s list, so state lists can contain people OIG’s does not.

At least the lists of every state where you bill Medicaid, and usually the states where your staff and contractors have lived or worked. Many managed care contracts spell this out.

Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Washington. Their official files are downloaded when the site is updated, and each result shows the date of the copy used. For other states, use the official links in the table.

Many states publish their list as a PDF, behind a search form, or block automated downloads. We only add a state when its official file can be downloaded reliably, so results are never based on a stale or partial copy.

It varies. Pennsylvania says its Medicheck list is updated daily; California publishes a monthly file; other states post dated editions. Check the date on each list.

Check OIG and SAM.gov (which our tool does), and ask the state Medicaid agency or your managed care plans how they publish terminations. We link to each agency’s website.
