Thin LEIE volume band
CONSULTANT in the thin-volume third
8 exclusions place CONSULTANT in the bottom third by volume among 85 active provider types. Leading statutory reason: Conviction: Program-Related Crime (5, 63% of the category). AL, TX, TN account for the largest share of CONSULTANT exclusions on record.
Thin volume (8 rows) 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.
