The short answer
Conviction: Healthcare Fraud is the statutory reason on 3 of 5 LEIE rows tagged to LAWYER (60%).
The live HHS OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities lists 5 exclusions tagged to LAWYER (0.0% of tracked rows). Largest state concentration: WI (1 rows). Volume tracks federal billing exposure and audit pathways, not a misconduct rate inside the specialty. Dataset vintage: August 2026.
Thin LEIE volume band
LAWYER in the thin-volume third
Thin volume can mean fewer federal billers, less audit exposure, or genuinely lower violation rates ; WI still concentrates 20% of this sparse book. LEIE alone cannot separate those causes.
