Minnesota Medicaid exclusion list
ExclusionHQ can't check the Minnesota DHS excluded providers automatically yet: the file is behind a CAPTCHA. Check it yourself and keep a record.
The free check below still covers the federal lists every Minnesota provider needs: the OIG LEIE and SAM.gov.
Add dates of birth: the LEIE lists one for almost everyone, and it is what tells two people with the same name apart.
Checking the Minnesota list yourself
Download the current list from the state's page in your browser, search it for each person's surname, and keep the file with the date you checked it.
Check before each person starts and then on the schedule your Medicaid provider agreement sets. For the federal lists, OIG says checking every month best limits the risk, because it updates its list monthly (see monthly exclusion screening).
Minnesota on the federal lists
Of the people on the OIG exclusion list (the LEIE copy of Nov 6, 2026), 1,381 had a Minnesota address when they were excluded, 84 of them in the last 12 months. 59% were excluded on the mandatory grounds (convictions for program fraud, patient abuse or neglect, felony health care fraud or felony controlled-substance offences) and 33% after a health care licence was revoked, suspended or surrendered.
The most common professions among them: nurses and nurse aides (427), health care aides (199) and personal care providers (169).
SAM.gov lists 792 excluded individuals with a Minnesota 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 Minnesota is still excluded here: check every hire against the federal lists, wherever they come from.
Neighboring states
Someone who has worked across the state line can be on that state's Medicaid list without being on Minnesota's. If you hire from neighboring states, check their lists too:

Questions
Does Minnesota keep its own Medicaid exclusion list?
Yes: the Minnesota DHS excluded providers. ExclusionHQ can't check it automatically yet (the file is behind a CAPTCHA), so check it by hand and keep a record.
