Texas Medicaid exclusion list
ExclusionHQ can't check the Texas HHSC OIG Exclusions List automatically yet: published through a download form; being added. Check it yourself on the state's page and keep a record.
The free check below still covers the federal lists every Texas 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 Texas list yourself
Request the file through the state's download form, 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).
Texas on the federal lists
Of the people on the OIG exclusion list (the LEIE copy of Nov 6, 2026), 5,718 had a Texas address when they were excluded, 173 of them in the last 12 months. 53% were excluded on the mandatory grounds (convictions for program fraud, patient abuse or neglect, felony health care fraud or felony controlled-substance offences) and 41% after a health care licence was revoked, suspended or surrendered.
The most common professions among them: nurses and nurse aides (2,942), owners and operators (325) and chiropractors (150).
SAM.gov lists 5,089 excluded individuals with a Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas's. If you hire from neighboring states, check their lists too:

Questions
Does Texas keep its own Medicaid exclusion list?
Yes: the Texas HHSC OIG Exclusions List. ExclusionHQ can't check it automatically yet (published through a download form; being added), so check it by hand and keep a record.
