About HHS-OIG exclusions in Puerto Rico
The records on this page are individuals and entities with a Puerto Rico address that the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) has excluded from
participation in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federally funded health care programs. The latest imported
HHS-OIG LEIE dataset lists 227 currently excluded Puerto Rico

excluded, federal health care programs will not pay for items or services they furnish, order, or prescribe.
This page summarizes the public LEIE dataset only and is not an official government record.
Always verify a person or entity's identity and current exclusion status directly with HHS-OIG before
making employment, contracting, credentialing, billing, or compliance decisions.
