Kentucky Medicaid exclusion list
The Kentucky Medicaid Terminated and Excluded Provider List is published by the Kentucky CHFS, Department for Medicaid Services. ExclusionHQ downloads it every day it changes and checks plan rosters in Kentucky against it, alongside the OIG LEIE and SAM.gov.
The free check below covers the federal lists; plans add this state's list. You can also search it on the state's own page.

Add dates of birth: the LEIE lists one for almost everyone, and it is what tells two people with the same name apart.
About the Kentucky list
Each entry gives the name, NPI, licence number and effective date.
It has no dates of birth, so names must agree exactly or as a nickname and its full form, and NPIs and licence numbers match on their own. A name match there is a result to verify against the entry, not a confirmed match. See how matching works.
If a download fails, or the number of people on it falls by more than a fifth, the last good copy stays in use and the coverage page says so.
Kentucky on the federal lists
Of the people on the OIG exclusion list (the LEIE copy of Nov 6, 2026), 1,712 had a Kentucky address when they were excluded, 47 of them in the last 12 months. 38% were excluded on the mandatory grounds (convictions for program fraud, patient abuse or neglect, felony health care fraud or felony controlled-substance offences) and 60% after a health care licence was revoked, suspended or surrendered.
The most common professions among them: nurses and nurse aides (1,047), general practice physicians (76) and owners and operators (44).
SAM.gov lists 742 excluded individuals with a Kentucky address, many of them the same people.
An OIG exclusion covers every federal health care program, in every state, so someone excluded elsewhere who moves to Kentucky is still excluded here: check every hire against the federal lists, wherever they come from.
