Common Questions

What is the most common reason for a LAWYER exclusion?
The most common reason for a LAWYER exclusion is Conviction: Healthcare Fraud (3 cases, 60% of the category), followed by Conviction: Program-Related Crime (2). That reflects the regulatory pathway most often used against this provider type, not necessarily the most severe conduct.
Is LAWYER's exclusion volume above or below average?
LAWYER sits in the lower-volume half of LEIE provider-type categories, ranked #79 of 137 by exclusion count. Fewer exclusions can mean fewer providers of this type bill federal programs, less audit exposure, or genuinely lower violation rates, the LEIE data alone cannot separate those causes.
