Common Questions

What is the most common reason for a Physician exclusion?
The most common reason for a Physician exclusion is License Revocation or Suspension (3,464 cases, 46% of the category), followed by Conviction: Program-Related Crime (1,704). That reflects the regulatory pathway most often used against this provider type, not necessarily the most severe conduct.
Is Physician's exclusion volume above or below average?
Yes. Physician 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 physician providers bill federal programs and how closely those claims get audited, it is not a direct measure of misconduct prevalence within the category.
