Thin LEIE volume band
CONSULTING FIRM in the thin-volume third
18 exclusions place CONSULTING FIRM in the bottom third by volume among 85 active provider types. Leading statutory reason: Entity Controlled by Sanctioned Individual (7, 39% of the category). FL, TX, PA account for the largest share of CONSULTING FIRM exclusions on record.
Thin volume (18 rows) can mean fewer federal billers, less audit exposure, or genuinely lower violation rates ; FL still concentrates 33% of this sparse book. LEIE alone cannot separate those causes.
