The short answer
Fraud, Kickbacks, or Prohibited Activities is the statutory reason on 2 of 4 LEIE rows tagged to NEUROLOGY (50%).
The live HHS OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities lists 4 exclusions tagged to NEUROLOGY (0.0% of tracked rows). Largest state concentration: SD (2 rows). Volume tracks federal billing exposure and audit pathways, not a misconduct rate inside the specialty. Dataset vintage: August 2026.
Thin LEIE volume band
NEUROLOGY in the thin-volume third
4 exclusions place NEUROLOGY in the bottom third by volume among 85 active provider types. Leading statutory reason: Fraud, Kickbacks, or Prohibited Activities (2, 50% of the category). SD, SC, CA account for the largest share of NEUROLOGY exclusions on record.
Thin volume (4 rows) can mean fewer federal billers, less audit exposure, or genuinely lower violation rates ; SD still concentrates 50% of this sparse book. LEIE alone cannot separate those causes.
