The live HHS OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities lists 19 exclusions tagged to LOCAL GOV'T (0.0% of tracked rows). Largest state concentration: NY (3 rows). Volume tracks federal billing exposure and audit pathways, not a misconduct rate inside the specialty. Dataset vintage: August 2026.
Thin LEIE volume band
LOCAL GOV'T in the thin-volume third
Thin volume can mean fewer federal billers, less audit exposure, or genuinely lower violation rates . LEIE alone cannot separate those causes.
