Common Questions

What is the most common reason for a Pharmacy exclusion?
The most common reason for a Pharmacy exclusion is License Revocation or Suspension (869 cases, 39% of the category), followed by Conviction: Program-Related Crime (708). That reflects the regulatory pathway most often used against this provider type, not necessarily the most severe conduct.
Is Pharmacy's exclusion volume above or below average?
Yes. Pharmacy sits in the higher-volume half of LEIE provider-type categories, among the top 10 of 137 categories by exclusion count. A higher share mainly reflects how many pharmacy providers bill federal programs and how closely those claims get audited, it is not a direct measure of misconduct prevalence within the category.
