The live HHS OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities lists 8 exclusions tagged to CONSULTANT (0.0% of tracked rows). Largest state concentration: AL (2 rows). Volume tracks federal billing exposure and audit pathways, not a misconduct rate inside the specialty. Dataset vintage: August 2026.
Thin LEIE volume band
CONSULTANT in the thin-volume third
Thin volume can mean fewer federal billers, less audit exposure, or genuinely lower violation rates ; AL still concentrates 25% of this sparse book. LEIE alone cannot separate those causes.
