The short answer
Entity Controlled by Sanctioned Individual is the statutory reason on 2 of 5 LEIE rows tagged to SURGERY (40%).
The live HHS OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities lists 5 exclusions tagged to SURGERY (0.0% of tracked rows). Largest state concentration: NY (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
SURGERY in the thin-volume third
5 exclusions place SURGERY in the bottom third by volume among 85 active provider types. Leading statutory reason: Entity Controlled by Sanctioned Individual (2, 40% of the category). NY, CO, MI account for the largest share of SURGERY exclusions on record.
Thin volume (5 rows) can mean fewer federal billers, less audit exposure, or genuinely lower violation rates ; NY still concentrates 40% of this sparse book. LEIE alone cannot separate those causes.
