NOTICE: New File Formats
With the November 2015 update of the downloadable Exclusions files, OIG will begin a three-month transition toward offering this data in a new file format.
The current downloadable files are offered in DBF format and contained within self-extracting/compressed files (EXE and ZIP). OIG will now offer raw data in comma-separated value (CSV) format. All fields and data within the files remain the same. The new CSV format will be replacing the previous formats.
To download the CSV-formatted file:
- Right-click the file link.
- If you use Internet Explorer: choose "Save target as..."
- If you use Firefox: choose "Save link as..."
- Choose the location on your computer where you would like to save the file.
- You may also see below for more instructions.
We will eliminate the DBF, EXE, and ZIP files in February 2016. While the DBF files are still available we strongly recommend downloading the CSV file and testing it in your software environment. Please report any issues to the following email address which has been set up specifically to receive feedback about your experience: leie.update@oig.hhs.gov.
Updated Information (01-08-2016)
We are receiving your emails, and we greatly appreciate your feedback. Though we are unable to respond to all messages, we are using your feedback to adjust our file exports. Highlights for this update are:
- Posted answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
- Some Excel users are reporting that the birth dates in the downloaded LEIE database are for dates that occur in the future. This is a known formatting issue in Excel that's tied to the settings on a particular user's computer. (See Change the way two-digit years are interpreted for instructions on how to resolve this issue.)
- Reminder: In February, we will be posting ONLY the CSV file.
Please continue to let us know if you experience any issues with the new file type by sending a detailed description to leie.update@oig.hhs.gov.

Instructions
The List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) and Monthly Supplement files are currently DBF files compressed into self-extracting executable (EXE) files and ZIP files. The LEIE and supplement files will be transitioned to comma-separated value (CSV) format. All 3 file types will be available until February 2016. Beginning in February 2016, the files will be CSV only.
Save the desired file type to your computer. If you have chosen DBF, then extract the EXE/ZIP file. You may open the file in a database program such as Microsoft Access, a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel, or whichever software you use per normal. Refer to your software's help file for instructions on using the files.
